Good team on paper, but aren't you a little worried that the attack of Khan, Wasim and waqar might be a little one-dimensional? After all, they're all genuinely fast reverse-swing specialists.

As for Ponting- to be honest, I wonder how he'd perform against genuinely good fast bowling (by that I mean the type that can sustain a good line and length). I think he was exposed a little by India and Sri Lanka bowling a good line and length consistently, and to a lesser extent, by England's bowling attack in 2005. But if you go with the theory that the 12th Man should be a very good fielder, then I'd certainly agree with his selection on that basis.
