Ricky Ponting backs Australia to go with unchanged XI for Lord's Test

By Saurabh Sharma August 06, 2019 • 19:20 PM View: 1447

Sydney, Aug 6: 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's even if it means making star pacers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood sit out the second match on the trot.

Ponting feels that with James Pattinson bowling just eight overs in England's second innings at Edgbaston and Peter Siddle's style of bowling might just suit the conditions usualy on offer at Lord's.
