Both teams have a great chance to win the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston and take a 1-0 lead in the series. In the fourth inning, Australia will bat, and the team’s past captain, Ricky Ponting, said that David Warner must do well.
Ponting said that Warner’s 43 in the first inning of the World Test Championship final, which just ended, was a well-put-together hit. The southpaw was out quickly for nine in the first inning of the Edgbaston Test, which is being played right now. He was out to Stuart Broad, who has been better than him in recent years. In fact, Broad got Warner out in England for the ninth time in 11 games. But Ponting pointed out that David Warner looked better than he has in the last couple of years in Test cricket during his short time at the bat.
“I thought he looked great in the first inning of the WTC Final. He played really well for the 40 or so runs he got there. Even though he only scored nine runs in the first inning, it was the best way I’ve seen him start a test game in the last two years. So it’s still there,” Ponting said at the conclusion of play on Day 3.
I think he will score some runs if he starts the same way he did in the first inning. Ricky Ponting is a famous cricketer.
David Warner couldn’t get going in the first inning. It took 27 balls for him to score nine runs.
The left-handed player tried to break free by throwing his hands at a wide ball and dragging it back onto the stumps. Ponting thought Warner’s performance in the second inning would be important for his future and for Australia as a whole.
“I think that he played the shot he did because he wasn’t able to score as easily as he would have liked at the beginning of that game. But there’s no question that the second inning is a big one for him, not just for his career but also for this game and this series as a whole. “I think he will score some runs if he starts the same way he did in the first inning,” Ponting said.
At the end of Day 3, England was 28/2 and had a 35-run lead. Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, the openers, have been taken out of the game. On Day 4, Ollie Pope and Joe Root will take over.
