Oz need to pick up T20 threads quickly: Ponting

8220;I think that was the way it was used by most boards around the world, but now it8217;s pretty clear and apparent to us that we8217;ll be playing a lot more. When there8217;s a World Cup event in any form of the game, you want to make sure you understand the game well and you play the game well,8221; he was quoted as saying by the Australian Associated Press.

8220;Our international record8217;s not great, we8217;ve probably only got a 50-50 win-loss record8212; and that8217;s something we8217;re going to improve on over the next couple of years,8221; he added.

Ponting admitted his team was still being educated in the nuances of the game. 8220;We probably learnt a little bit through the World Cup about the format of the game. Going there, we were all pretty new to it, pretty inexperienced in Twenty20 cricket,8221; he said.

The Aussie captain said with the Indians winning the T20 World Cup and talks of star-studded Twenty20 Leagues the game was sure to get further popular in the sub-continent.
