Since the other thread on Ponting getting left out of the next ODI squad (officially "dropped", not "rested") was shut down (and seemingly deleted), as a result of some epic trolling, I'll start another one, for all to give their views. 
Glad Inverarity and co seem to have the cajones to make the tough calls, which is one of the major things we need, to get back to the top of the cricketing pile.
Will interesting to see what Ricky does now, whether he retires from ODI's and/or tests, or goes back to Tassie to try and get picked for Australia in ODi's again.

"John Inverarity, the national selector, said there was obvious disappointment when he informed Ponting of the selection panel's decision, and admitted a retirement from all forms was now a possibility. Ponting is expected to speak publicly about his future on Tuesday.
"He made a double-century in his last Test match and we are hoping he remains available for Test cricket, but there can be no guarantees," Inverarity said. "Ricky is going to consider his future over the next couple of days and talk it over with his family and with his manager. He's wondering whether he retires completely from ODI cricket ... and then of course there are the implications for Test cricket. "
