Ponting rushed back for must-win match
The Australian skipper sat out yesterday's six-wicket loss to the Black Caps at the MCG and was supposed to miss the third one-dayer at the SCG as part of the selection panel's rotation policy.
However with Australia 2-0 down in the five-game series, Ponting has requested that he be allowed to play tomorrow.
"Ricky has today made a strong appeal to be allowed to play given that this is a 'decider' game," chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch said.
"Given the circumstance, we have made an on-balance decision to support his request and we will continue to monitor his workload closely.
