In cricket circles, some say Ponting should resign from the captaincy. Others say he should lead Australia for as long as he wants - being the first Australian captain to win in India in 35 years, and the only captain to win 2 World Cups (2003 and 2007) - both undefeated.
Ponting even mentioned the possibility of playing on for the 2013 Ashes (at the age of 38) in order to get some "good memories" of a series in England. It reminded me of that famous quote by Michael Jordan:
I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot ... and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
