Beating England won't change the fact that Ponting's most celebrated teammates are in the twilight of their careers. The question is not whether Australia are nearing a fall but how bad it will be. "We won't ever be poor, but we will be normal," says former vice-captain Ian Healy. "We'll have to play really tough cricket to win games and save games...
