Ricky Ponting Wants Marnus Labuschagne To Replace This Star Player In World Cup Semifinal vs South Africa | Cricket News

[ad_1] Marnus Labuschagne's batting skills in the middle overs would make him a better choice than all-rounder Marcus Stoinis in Australia's World Cup semi-final against South Africa in Kolkata on Thursday, feels former captain Ricky Ponting. Glenn Maxwell will return to the Australian side after resting from the final league game against Bangladesh on Saturday, and either one of Labuschagne or Marcus Stoinis will get the chop for the semifinal against the Proteas at Eden Gardens. Ponting has backed Labuschagne to be in the playing eleven for the semifinal match and wants batting all-rounder Stoinis to be dropped. Stoinis has had an ordinary campaign with both bat and ball so far, scoring 87 runs at an average of 21.75, while taking four wickets at 35.75 from six World Cup matches."I pro...

‘Hasn’t Looked Dangerous In The Series At All’: Ricky Ponting On England Pacer In Ashes 2023 | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting believes that England's pacer Ollie Robinson did not look dangerous in the Ashes as he has only taken wickets of tailenders. The English bowler has taken three wickets in the ongoing second Test match of the Ashes series against Australia on Thursday at Lord's. He had also taken five wickets in the first Ashes Test. Ponting in ICC Review said, "I don't think he's looked dangerous in the series at all. I mean, if you look at the wickets, he's got the tailenders out in each game. Yes he got Marnus (Labuschagne) in this innings here. But then he got (Nathan) Lyon and then he got (Josh) Hazlewood. So if he didn't get the 10 and 11 out, then he finishes his innings with one wicket at over four runs an over.""He's a very skilful bowler, no doubt a...

“If They’re Not Results Driven…”: Ricky Ponting’s Jibe At England Test Team Post Loss In Ashes Opener | Cricket News

[ad_1] Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting believes that the added pressure after the defeat in the opening Test match of Ashes 2023 would leave hosts England with a challenging task in the second. England's 'Bazball' style was on full display in the first Test, with the English batters sticking to their aggressive approach in both their innings. For Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja, they used an experimental field setting and it worked in their favour. However, Stokes' bold declaration on the first evening despite having wickets in hand did not pan out the way he had expected."I think it's going to be a really, really good test for England. Actually, I think it's going to be a good test for their style of play. I think it's going to be a good test for their leadership and their coachin...

“They’ve Been Outplayed So Far”: Ricky Ponting Questions India’s Preparation For WTC Final | Cricket News

[ad_1] India's performance in the World Test Championship final against Australia has shown their preparation was not ideal, said Ricky Ponting, who especially raised questions about the readiness of their undercooked pacers. India are staring at another unfavourable result in an ICC final after conceding a first-innings lead of 173 runs to Australia on a seaming pitch. While Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami have been potent in the game, Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur looked a bit rusty having not got a lot of overs under their belt in the IPL.Thakur bowled 21 overs in the whole of IPL and Umesh bowled 19, less than what they bowled in Australia's first innings here."I think they have been outplayed so far. Their preparation wasn't probably ideal coming into a one-off Test what with all...

“He’s The Sort Of Player That Can Win You A World Cup”: Ricky Ponting Lauds India Star | Cricket News

[ad_1] Australia legend Ricky Ponting has revealed what he would do with out-of-form white-ball star Suryakumar Yadav and the rest of India's much-vaunted batting line-up if he was in charge of selecting their squad for this year's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. There are still a few openings in India's top six for the 50-over showcase that is slated to take place later this year, even though skipper Rohit Sharma, up-and-coming opener Shubman Gill, and veteran batter Virat Kohli are anticipated to fill the crucial spots.During their recent ODI series loss at home against Australia, India's middle-order issues were on full display. Suryakumar especially struggled, setting an unfavourable record by being removed for golden ducks in three straight innings.Suryakumar has scored 172 ODI runs at...

[ad_1] File photo of Ricky Ponting.© TwitterBatting great Ricky Ponting returned to the commentary booth on Saturday "shiny and new" after being taken to hospital with chest pains and dizziness during the first Test between Australia and the West Indies. The 47-year-old Australian suffered the scare on Friday around lunchtime and did not return to commentate on the last two sessions of the match in Perth. "I probably scared a lot of people yesterday and had a little scary moment for myself, to be honest," Ponting, who played 168 Tests and 375 ODIs during a glittering career, said when he resumed broadcast duties on Saturday."I was sitting in the comms box halfway through the stint, and got a couple of really short, sharp pains through my chest. I tried to stretch it out and get rid of it...
