Ponting ready to face stern test from "well drilled" Lankans

As he prepares to lead the side into the crucial World Cup showdown with Sri Lanka, Ricky Ponting says his desire to succeed at the helm of Australia's Test and one-day sides remained as strong as ever.

He is mindful of the skilled Sri Lankan team that he will be taking on in their own backyard after a series loss to them in Australia in Nov.

Sangakkara states that his 3 spinners will provide an edge if they execute their plans well.
