‘They are not going to be happy’, Ricky Ponting’s ruthless advice for Cummins and co.

Australia dominated the proceedings on Day 3 of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s, with England facing criticism from fans and former cricketers alike. Now, Ex-Aussie skipper Ricky Ponting has advised Pat Cummins and co. on how they can eliminate the hosts’ chances to clinch an unlikely victory.

Ponting said on Sky Sports –

“Everything we hear from England is, that they are not going to be happy with a draw. They’re going to do everything to try and win the game.”

Ponting added – “Well, If I’m Australia, I’m batting as long as I can and setting the most ridiculous total. They actually said they will try to win. I will make it as unachievable as possible, let them go as hard as they can.”

England’s aggressive approach came under significant scanner as most of their batters gave their wickets away rather cheaply in the first innings of the Lord’s Test. At one point, England great Boycott couldn’t help burying his face with his hand after Harry Brook was caught attempting an aggressive shot while batting on 50.
