Kepler Wessels, the former Australia and South Africa batsman, says Ricky Ponting’s bowling attack is one-dimensional and they must entice Shane Warne out of one-day retirement to retain the World Cup next year. Wessels said Ponting should be “very concerned” after they were thrashed for 9 for 438 at Johannesburg on Sunday and he believed the defeat would affect the start of the Test series.”[Ponting] says he wants to forget about the one-day loss but it’s as plain as day he’s got a bowling problem,” Wessels said in after Warne said Graeme Smith had “made a fool of himself” on the tour of Australia. “He’s come out and made statements again against Graeme. That’s fine. He arrived here and probably wanted to be noticed. We’re finished talking about Shane Warne. We’ve got Test matches to win and he’s not going to bother us.”Warne, Matthew Hayden and Justin Langer will return to the side to give it a lift after the one-day series, but Wessels said the 3-2 victory would help the home side in Thursday’s first match at Cape Town. “From a psychological point of view,” Wessels said, “it has been a massive boost for South Africa.”
