Australia's star pacer Mitchell Starc has cast doubt on England's ability to sustain its aggressive posture in the face of adversity and said that the Three Lions' attacking play makes the Ashes series fascinating.

On India vs Australia WTC Final, Ricky Ponting's Big Prediction

Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting believes that the conditions of the Oval will be similar to Australia and this will give the Aussies a slight edge against India in the World Test Championship 2023 final. "I think it will be a bit more similar to an Australian wicket than it will be to an Indian wicket, therefore I am giving a slight advantage to Australia. If this game was being played in India, I would have said it is really going to be hard for Australia to win. If this game was played in Australia, I'd say Australia are the heavy favourites. The fact that this final is being played in England probably brings both teams a little closer together," Ponting said at an event in New Delhi.

Ponting gave the example of West Indies cricketers who tend to choose franchise cricket over international duty for financial reasons. In an event organised by the ICC ahead of the World Test Championship final between India and Australia at the Oval from June 7, Ponting was asked about youngsters wanting to play the five-day game in an era of T20 leagues.

"Remind Me When...": Steve Smith's Fierce Reply To "Terrorised By Jofra Archer" Post
