I saw that also. I agree that the reason for having a v/c is that he can standin when required which is why i was surprised that the decision on who will skipper the side in Ricky's absence was to be reviewed.

As a side note I see that Pontings highest score in India in a meagre 60! Incredible for a man who is the best opener /top order bat of his generation and averages over 55. He has played seven innings for an aggregate of 149 at an average of 12.41!
