Ponting returns early

Crucial third ODI against NZ today

Agencies, Sydney
Australia captain Ricky Ponting has cut short his break from the game to lead his team in Sunday's crucial third one-day international against New Zealand.
Ponting was due to sit out two matches but returns after one after his side went 2-0 down in the five-match series.
However, he will have to cope without Shaun Tait in Sydney after the pace bowler sustained a hamstring injury.
Tait could miss the rest of the series, so Ryan Harris has been called into the squad as his replacement.
It is Ponting's return which could prove more significant for Australia as they look to end a miserable run of five successive one-day defeats.
"Ricky has made a strong appeal to be allowed to play, given that this is a decider game," said chief selector Andrew Hilditch.
"Given the circumstances, we have made an on-balance decision to support his request and well continue to monitor his workload closely.
"It should be noted that the selectors were pleased with Michael Clarke's leadership and batting form in Melbourne, where he was man-
of-the-match, but this decision will bolster our batting.
"We also understand Ricky's desire to lead from the front."
Vice-captain Clarke has been passed fit despite suffering a toe injury during his innings of 98 in Friday's game, which New Zealand won by two wickets.
But the Kiwis are keen to keep their momentum going and skipper Daniel Vettori remains in confident mood.
"I don't think anyone expected us to be 2-0 up. That's new territory for us. There's not many New Zealand teams who have come over here and beaten Australia two games in a row," he said.
"We've been bowling and fielding well, that's set up the two victories so far, and if we can do that in Sydney, I think we've got a really good chance of wrapping up the series." TEAMS
