Ponting fails as a captain and as a human being. His hubristic decision to bat again will meet its nemesis. It's typical of his pouting inferiority that he seeks to grind England into the dust of the Gabba. Why is he so scared? Why is he so unsure of himself and his bunch of cricketers that he thinks he needs at least 500 runs to protect himself from England. This man is so scared and unsure of himself that he has begun to behave like some sort of cricketing Darth Vader, "This has been a great day for the Empire," wheeze, cough, splutter and pout at anybody who might threaten you. A good leader doesn't inspire resistance in his opposition, if he had enforced the follow on and probably bowled out England then it would have been job done, but his bullying tactics will inspire a greater resistance from England and this match will end up drawn and the Runting will sit there with egg on his face pouting like a spoilt four year old.
