I'll further add Ponting's captaincy is being found out.

On the field he has poor body language when things aren't going well - looks to have the weight of the world on his shoulders. That's hardly the way to get team mates up.

Then there's his decision making, from the howler of sending England in to bat in the second test to the non bowling of Tait towards the end of England's first innings in this test, not giving Tait a chance at picking up five wickets in his first test, when Tait was clearly the most effective pace bowler.
