Former Australian Skipper Ricky Ponting has questioned Joe Root’s comments about the British Bowler during Abu and said that as the captain of the Onus tour side was on him to make changes when needed.
After falling nine-goal in Brisbane’s opening, England lost the second test at Adelaide of 275 Run on Monday to take part in the five-match series 2-0.
Root says after a pink ball test that the bowler needs for a fuller bowl and “becomes a little bolder”.

“Whose work is then to make them change? Why are you captain then?
