Ricky Ponting laments 'too many' mistakes form Australian batsmen in India Tests
Kohli has been on the receiving end of the Australian fans in all the three Tests and Ponting and Australian batsman Travis Head had expressed their disappointment.
Ganguly tagged an indiatvnews.com report about Waugh's post in a tweet saying: "Australian cricket selection at its lowest ever."
According to Waugh, Marcus Harris and veteran Shaun Marsh should open the batting, followed by incumbent Usman Khawaja.
"I think it's always hard for India to push the run rate along when Pujara's there," Ponting added.
Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said he does not believe the fresh controversy on the ball-tampering scandal will have an impact on the national team.
Ponting, a three-time ICC Cricket World Cup winner including two times as captain, is the 25th Australia cricketer to be formally inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
Ponting advised Australia to carry forward the winning momentum to the third Test at Melbourne.
Ponting stated that whatever happened on the field was "lighthearted" and "quite funny at times."
Ponting believes the nature of the new-look Perth pitch will suit the Australians.
Ponting said that Sharma was about six-inches over the crease and the mistake was so obvious to be noticed by the on-field umpire but the same did not happen.
A group of Australian spectators were not happy with Kohli's celebration in the first innings of the hosts, so they got back at him by booing.
Had he been the captain, Ponting says he wouldn't have allowed Kohli to get a good start.
Ponting also predicted that right-arm pacer Josh Hazlewood will be the leading wicket-taker in the series.
India will take on Australia in the opening Test starting at Adelaide on December 6 and Ponting said on Monday that Usman Khawaja would do well at No.3.
Australia have failed to fix their batting woes after the suspensions to their star players in Steve Smith and David Warner.
He previously led Chhattisgarh in their debut Ranji Trophy season and acted as the mentor for the young team.
For the purposes of this piece, I will restrict the analysis to comparing the Delhi batsman's stats with the greats when they turned 30.
Australia would go on to lose narrowly, then escape with a draw at Old Trafford despite being thoroughly outplayed, but it was England who won the series 2-1.
The 43-years-old added that the same thing happens to the Australian cricketers when they play in the sub-continent and face spin bowlers.
