Anil is a great competitor: Ponting

8220;I wish he will enjoy his time after the game,8221; Ponting added.

Australia8217;s batting department came good in this Test but but Ponting felt there were areas for improvement before the Nagpur match.

8220;During the first two days, Indians were looking terrific. But the remaining three days were quite good for us.

8220;Our batsmen including Mathew Hayden and Michael Clarke played really well later in the match,8221; Ponting said.

The captain, who himself made 87 in the first innings, also had some words of praise for the Indian batsmen, who put up a commendable performance against the world champions.

8220;Almost every batsman of India got big scores, which helped them post a 600-plus score,8221; he said.

8220;We are looking at the next Test, where we have to make sure that Indians don8217;t get the chance to make such a big score,8221; he added.

On Brett Lee, the mainstay of Australia8217;s bowling section, Ponting said, 8220;He has surely improved in the second innings, but he still has more to do before the next encounter.8221;
