Ponting: Not Being Fooled Twice

Ricky Ponting is unsure whether to go by the ground report. The last time, he says, he believed, Australia suffered a rare Ashes loss.
The Australian captain wants to disbelieve the pitch curator in charge for the third Test at Edgbaston. There were reports of the pitch being jelly like given that too much rain had ruined pitch preparations.
But Ponting sounded a cautious note stating that the last time Australia went by rumours, they lost the match in the Ashes 2005.
But does Ponting have the right assessment?
