Melbourne: Former England captain Ricky Ponting has slammed the British led root for their gloomy performance in the first three thue test.
Pacer Scott Boland took six goals in the second half when Australia beat England with innings and 14 walked in the third ash test on the land of Cricket Melbourne on Tuesday.
With this victory, Australia regained ash when the hosts gained an unimaginable 3-0 advantage in the five matches.
“I don’t think I’ve seen a team that performed worse in Australia than what I saw for the last three matches.
England might need to see how they can make their conditions more suitable for us.
They play well in England still but they don’t play with Well when they come here – so maybe they play more with the Kookaburra ball, “Cricket.com.au quoted by Ponting.
“Maybe they leveled a little goal so there was no swing and stitching, so the mixture made a bigger score and hit for a longer period of time.
That might be the exact same blip (Australia) must have three or four years ago,” he added.
England was fascinated for 68 in the second half of the Melbourne test and the team stumbled into the inny defeat.
Batter three lions have not been able to show vibrant performance, and it is only root and dawid malan that has shown battles with bats.
“Some of the top English sequence batteries I’ve seen in the last few tours, without giving a name, there are some techniques there that I know will not stand at the test level.
In conditions and the world that challenges the Bowlers class against sub-standard techniques, then you Get what happened at MCG, “said Ponting.
“Little swing-dobbly-dobblers who took them out there (in Kricket Regency), they did not face it at the test level.
They face people who can really bowl.
What I see with their punch, they are just not enough well, “he added.
