Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting was critical of the tame shot India captain Rohit Sharma played that led to his dismissal off Pat Cummins on day two of the Boxing Day Test, saying one has to be switched on and make good decisions when facing a formidable bowling line-up.

That dismissal took Rohit's tally of runs to 22 in this series, thus extending his woeful form in Tests this year.
