Ponting raring to perform in the upcoming home summer --
After getting a first proper pre-season under his belt for the first time in just under two decades, Ricky Ponting is raring to perform in the upcoming Australian home summer, claiming that there will be little excuses as far he is concerned if he fails to recapture his old form.
Skipper Ricky Ponting believes that Australian selectors should stick with experience as two strenuous tours of South Africa and England are in the offing over six months.
