Punter backs The Wall

Sydney: With the India coach’s post lying vacant, and names such as Daniel Vettori and Stephen Fleming doing the rounds, Mumbai Indians coach Ricky Ponting has backed Rahul Dravid for the job.“I guess it depends on what the BCCI are looking for. Do they want an overseas coach? Do they want an Indian coach? You are not going to find a better candidate than him (Rahul Dravid).
“If he is interested that is. Surely, he will do a good job. He has a lot of knowledge about the game and experience to back it. He knows all three formats of the game and has worked for the last five-six seasons in the IPL. He will be a great candidate. But, it is about what BCCI are thinking is the best fit for the Indian team at the moment and also what Virat Kohli wants,” said Ponting, during a coaching clinic involving Mumbai Indians.
