PTIMelbourne: After a series of poor perfomances against Proteas and Kiwis, Australian skipper Ricky Ponting has pinned hope on senior players to deliver in the upcoming South African series.
"If we look at those on the plane to South Africa, four have never played a Test, two have played only one and just four have played more than Mitchell Johnson's 18: (Michael) Clarke, Mike Hussey, Simon Katich and myself.
"That creates extra responsibility for us four. As senior players, we must stand up and lead from the front to show the younger players the way," Ponting wrote in his column for the'Australian'.
"I know that as captain and the most experienced player in the team, it is up to me to set the example." Concerned about the challenge the youngsters face while graduating from domestic to international level, the skipper said he was ready to help them out.
