    "editor1": "<p><strong>Sydney, Aug 6: <\/strong>Former captain Ricky Ponting said that Australia have a good argument for naming an unchanged XI for the second Ashes Test to be played at Lord&#39;s even if it means making star pacers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood sit out the second match on the trot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ponting feels that with James Pattinson bowling just eight overs in England&#39;s second innings at Edgbaston and Peter Siddle&#39;s style of bowling might just suit the conditions usualy on offer at Lord&#39;s.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I know there was talk about managing Pattinson through the series,&quot; Ponting told cricket.com.au.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;But with nine days between games and he only bowled eight overs in the second innings, you&#39;d think he&#39;d be fine physically. So there&#39;s an argument to not change the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;If it looks like it&#39;ll be a wicket that offers a bit to Sidds, he&#39;d stay in. If it looks like it&#39;ll be a flat and dry one, there might be a case to make a change,&quot; said Ponting.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We know (Glenn) McGrath has a great record at Lord&#39;s and loved bowling there. He used to seam the ball back down the slope because he wasn&#39;t a big swing bowler. The way Sidds is bowling now is actually quite similar to the way McGrath bowled in his last few years. I actually think (the Lord&#39;s slope) will suit all of our bowlers pretty well,&quot; he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
