RICKY Ponting has intensified the pressure on Cricket Australia, claiming he was angry when attempts to try and keep the team No. 1 were often ignored.

"It made me angry at the time," Ponting said after the launch of his candid autobiography "At the Close of Play" by former Prime Minister John Howard in Sydney yesterday.

"I think some of the stuff we're seeing now might have been half avoidable and I'm pretty sure Buck (former coach John Buchanan) would be saying the same thing about where we find Australian cricket now.

"Maybe if some ears had been opened at an earlier time … it wouldn't have got to the point where we even needed an Argus review.

"We might have had things in place better than what we had right now."

The former captain's revelations came as sacked coached Mickey Arthur claimed chief executive James Sutherland, high performance manager Pat Howard and captain Michael Clarke would be under pressure if Australia lost a fourth successive Ashes series.

"There are some serious players in Cricket Australia under a lot of pressure around this Test series," Arthur told Fairfax Radio.

"If they lose this Test series there is going to be a lot of questions asked.

"I think James Sutherland, I think Pat Howard, I think Michael Clarke . . . I think some serious heads could roll if Australia don't win this Test series."

Ponting simply said that everyone is defined by results.

In his book Ponting admits to being stunned when told by Sutherland: "no one ever spends money when they are going well."

This was after Ponting and Buchanan had spent years making quarterly reports to the board.

"Whenever we had things that we thought would improve the team we took them straight to the board," Ponting said yesterday.

"History suggests they listed to some of those things, they made some changes around the team, but once again I think there could have been more done back then.

"If you look at the cold hard facts of it, we employed a bowling coach in 2006 after the 2005 Ashes loss and we didn't have a batting coach until 2010, when we lost the 2009 Ashes.

"I don't know why. I can't work that out. Why on earth would you have a specialist bowling coach but not batting coach when you've only got four bowlers and seven batters.

"Everyone is trying hard. Everyone wants success for the Australian team but it's not going to be a quick fix, it's not going to be an overnight thing, which is why the real foresight had to be there a long time ago.

"When we were on top of the world we had to be looking at how we were going to get further and further and further away, not just expect that we would stay number one."
