Australia captain Ricky Ponting may have scored just one Test century in the past 12 months but England counterpart Andrew Strauss believes there's plenty of devil still left in the Tasmanian.

Ponting, one of the outstanding batsmen of his generation, will look to put a poor first Test against Pakistan, where Australia still won by 150 runs at Lord's last week despite scores of only 26 and nought from their skipper, behind him in the series finale at Headingley starting here on Wednesday.
