The former Australian also predicted the result of the upcoming ODI series between India and Australia. Ponting said that Australia has had a great World Cup outing and Test series as well but the Indian side would be keen to redeem themselves from the last ODI series loss against Australia. The former skipper hence predicted that India would win the series 2-1. 

Ricky Ponting also went on to state that it was their glorious triumph in the 2007 edition in West Indies which was his favourite moment. Ponting then mentioned that in 2007 when they had landed in the Caribbean, the overriding sentiment from the media and the public was that their team and certain players in our team were way past their best. However, Ponting & Co. proved them wrong with yet another undefeated campaign.
