In trying to decide which teams might do well in the World T20 tournament, the first question that leaps at you apart from who was the psychiatrist that passed Andrew Symonds fit to resume his international careeru00a0 is can lightning strike twice for Ricky Ponting?

In 2003 Ponting did a magnificent job of re-focusing the Australian team after Shane Warne was banned for a drug offence on the eve of the World Cup. This time the task of picking up the pieces will be more difficult because Ponting has less senior players in the squad.

The timing of Symonds' indiscretion couldn't have been worse; Australia already had a difficult enough task just trying to qualify for the semi-finals. To reach that stage they first have to beat both the West Indies and Sri Lanka to move onto to a Super Eight Group E that's loaded with talent.

BAD BOY: Andrew Symonds
