‘Put your fingers and expect …’: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting identified his top order for ash. Cricket news

Former Australia captain and legend Ricky Ponting believes that the current batting line-up will be unchanged for the first Ashes Test and the team’s new World Test Championship Bicycle’s opening home series. He also defended the struggling opener Sam Constas, who has faced criticism after a poor run.Despite the 3–0 Test series win in Caribbean, Australia’s batting unit remains a question, which once crossed the 300-run mark in the series. Most of his runs came from Lower Order, with bowlers such as Mitchell Starc, Scott Bolland and Josh Hazelwood to move to dominate the West Indies. In the final innings of the series, the hosts were excluded for only 27 runs.Given the performance of the side in recent trials, Ponting said, “(batsman) that they are especially talking about the last few weeks, (Sam) Kontas and (Usman) are desiring, and then there were some things about Cameron Green, if he has a long -term number 3 or not.”Ponting said, “The second innings (in the last Test) in the West Indies (Green’s) may have placed some in bed. As long as he had to bat in the situations as long as he had to silence some of those critics,” Ponting said that Ponting said while speaking on the latest version of the ICC review.“I think where they are, I think the Ashes line-up is going to happen as it’s right now. I think what they are going to start, and you cross their fingers and hope that they can get work in the beginning,” he said.Contas managed just one half -century and an average of 16.30 in its first 10 Test innings. His first film came against India in Boxing Day Test, but he has since fought. Ponting said the young man was thrown into a difficult situation.
