In this year\u2019s ODI World Cup, Head won Player of The Match honours in both semi-final and final, helping Australia lift the trophy with a superb 137 in the title clash against India.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cRight now he's one of the emerging great talents I think in all three formats of the game around the world. That's the way I sort of described him at the end of the World Cup. I think it's really true. He\u2019ll get a bit of a crack at it now in the T20 format.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cHe'll be the One Day opener for a while and what he's done in the middle order in Test cricket has been awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing more of his development over the coming 12 months,\u201d said Ponting on SEN Radio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Head, 29, has made headlines for his aggressive style of batting and putting pressure back onto opposition bowlers quickly. Ponting thinks that\u2019s Head\u2019s success in international cricket has come because of playing with absolute freedom.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWhat I see there is someone that's just playing with absolute freedom. That's the way he's playing and that's obviously the way he plays his best cricket. I think the first part of his international career, he was sort of juggling with trying to fight. It\u2019s a bit like Cameron Green, I was just saying how he is trying to find the right way for him to be successful at the highest level.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI think what we've seen with Travis now is, \u2018Go out and hit the ball right from the start, try and put pressure back on the bowlers from the start of your innings\u2019. A couple of those innings in the World Cup were quite breathtaking. But it's been more his Test batting that's really caught my eye the last couple of years.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI think his strike rate in Test cricket in the last two years is nearly 100, which is quite remarkable. He's made big scores along with it and when you make big scores and get them quickly like that, you win games, you set up games, whether it be white ball or Test match cricket. He\u2019s done that really well,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
