Batting great Ricky Ponting was taken to hospital on Friday after a health scare while on commentary duties at the first Test between Australia and the West Indies in Perth, reports said.
PERTH :Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting was taken to hospital on Friday after suffering a heart problem while commentating during day three of Australia's first test against West Indies at Perth Stadium, reports in Australian media said.
Sikandar Raza failed a test for Pakistan's air force but was flying high on Thursday after playing a central role in Zimbabwe's shock Twenty20 World Cup win over the country of his birth.
In a few days things will get real serious for all the top cricket teams as the 2022 T20 World Cup Super 12 stage begins on October 22. Before that, however, it was time for some fun for the cricketers with comedian Danish Sait. He threw funny questions at cricketers from Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. "Ashwin, did you come to Australia on tourist visa or work visa," was just one of the questions that left the spinner surprised. However, what took the cake was the question to Virat Kohli, who has often been found wanting against deliveries that move away from the off-stump.
Virat Kohli is undoubtedly one of the legends of the game, a true icon of the way modern cricket is played. Over the years, the batting stalwart has orchestrated numerous records and taken the Indian team to new heights in the sport as a captain. But, is Kohli the best white-ball cricketer of all time? The opinion might differ from person to person but as far as former Australia captain Ricky Ponting is concerned, Kohli is the finest batter in limited-overs cricket that he has come across.
Adam Gilchrist. There has been a debate on who among Pant and Dinesh Karthik should be in the starting line-up, and Gilchrist's vote of confidence is in favour of the much younger Pant. "The dare of Rishabh Pant and the courage in him, the way in which he takes on bowling attacks, I think he's got to be a must in that Indian line-up," Gilchrist was quoted as saying in an ICC release. "They (Karthik and Pant) can play together, but I think Rishabh Pant has definitely got to be in there." India included both Pant and Karthik in the 15-member squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, but the former's underwhelming record in T20Is might go against him.
Dinesh Karthik and Rishabh Pant are capable enough batters to select themselves in the same playing XI during the upcoming T20 World Cup, feels former Australian captain Ricky Ponting. In his latest ICC review, Ponting did his five face-offs for the marquee event and one of them was the heated debate as to who should be in the playing XI?Should it be a potential destroyer of bowling attack Pant or the "designated finisher"Karthik?
Australia legend Ricky Ponting made some bold calls while trying to decide who will be more impactful in the 2022 T20 World Cup - Jasprit Bumrah or Shaheen Afridi. Two of the premier fast bowlers in the world, Bumrah and Afridi, boast of having enviable records in the shortest format. Bumrah has picked up 69 wickets in 58 matches while Afridi has scalped 47 in 40. The two pacers are equally effective with the new ball as well as in the death overs.
