Interesting comments by Ponting.
2008 was certainly a transition period for the team, and I can understand his reasoning for extending his career. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

"The transformation of Langer as coach of the national men's side is one of the major themes of the eight-part documentary The Test: A New Era for Australia’s Team, to premiere on streaming service Amazon on Thursday.
...
Australia's inexperienced batsmen were dominated by India's pace attack and complained of being put on edge by Langer, who struggled to contain his emotions - a concession he makes during the documentary.
Minutes earlier, Langer had been told by captain Tim Paine he needed to be more positive, a message echoed by a nervous-looking Khawaja.
"We can't always control the result. You get better as individuals, players, staff, everyone, be in better control of that emotion, be more level-headed, without trying to make it too complicated," Khawaja said.
"I think that's what the boys are trying to say. Does that makes sense? If it doesn't then... "
Asked where the message was coming from by Langer, Khawaja said: "Um, I think the boys are intimidated by you, Alf. I think there's a bit of the walking on eggshells sort of thing. I feel like I think the boys are afraid to say it."
Langer, who appeared to be taken aback by the criticism, said a prevailing message he received from his players was he had done what he had urged them not to."
