RESTING skipper Ricky Ponting has answered an emergency call from Australia cricket in a bid to stave off a humiliating series defeat to New Zealand.
Ponting was scheduled to sit out game two, which the tourists won in Melbourne on Friday, and game three in Sydney on Sunday.
But the Allan Border Medal winner has been recalled for the make-or-break contest as Australia search for an answer to their batting woes.
The Kiwis, given little hope of beating Australia, hold a commanding 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
