Veteran Australian batsman Ricky Ponting concedes he is not on top of his game right now but feels the hundred against India in the second Test signals the start of something big for him.
Ponting has promised better performance flowing out of his willow in the third Test at Perth, starting here on Friday.
Having got a couple of 60s in Melbourne and 134 in Sydney, Ponting feels his batting blues are receding.
"I'm not going to rest on my hundred (of Sydney). I feel it's start of something big for me. I want to give myself the best chance to perform again," said Ponting ahead of the third Test.
"I've made some progress in the last few weeks. There were a few technical flaws I've been working upon. In Sydney, for the first 30-40 runs, I was probably still not there but on Day Two, I was batting probably as free as I've felt in a long time. I missed just one ball on the second morning.
"When you start making as few mistakes you certainly do take confidence. But my batting is still a work in progress. Over Johannesburg, Brisbane and my two 60s in Melbourne, the gradual improvement was there. Finally, I got the hundred I was pushing so hard for," the former captain told reporters.
"It was all about my initial movement. In the last few months, I have tried different things, things which I had never to do before. My game was probably in a rut like it never was technically before. It was important I break it down in the best and simplest way to address and fix it.
"I'm not completely on top of my game but I'm not far off."
