Australia coach Tim Nielsen has warned Nathan Hauritz that it is up to him to take the initiative if he wants to rise through the ranks in the Australia side.
He added: "In the end, that's a great little resource to utilise, but it's more important that Haury identifies the things he needs to improve and we identify as a team the things we need to improve, and go about fixing them.
"We can't expect someone to come in and fix the ills of the game for us. It's about us saying 'yes, I need to get better at this', and working our backsides off at training and preparation to make sure we've nailed those skills.
"It'd be great to have people like Warne offering advice but in the end it comes back to us. We've got to take responsibility for our performances and we've got to make sure we do the best we can to be better every time."
Warne has now apologised for his Twitter remark on Ponting's field placements during Hauritz's spell in the second Test at Bangalore, stating it was just an observation and not an attack on the Australia captain.
