'He could really win you the World Cup' - Ricky Ponting pushes Tim David case

Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting believes Tim David is the type of player who could win the Australia T20 World Cup, comparing his game-winning abilities to 2003 50-over World Cup star Andrew Symonds. Ponting, who recently took on the role of chief strategist at Hobart Hurricanes where David played in the BBL, suggested that if he were an Australian voter, he would find a place for a strong right-hand man on the Australian side despite the reality of the 2022 T20 World Host. The cup defended the title they won without David in the squad last year. He compared David’s power stroke to that of his late friend Symonds, who came on last-minute in Australia’s 2003 World Cup squad and dominated by scoring a brilliant 143 not-comes in the opening game against Pakistan and another 91 wins not coming off the game. semifinal against Sri Lanka. “If I were a picky eater, I would love to have someone like that on my team,” Ponting said. “If he plays or not, just to have that kind of attackin

The Wallabies face a deep test as they attempt to secure a draw win over England

The Wallabies find themselves in almost unfamiliar territory, with a chance to secure the newly minted Ella-Mobbs Trophy in the second Test against England in Brisbane this evening. As far as this mid-year three-Test series goes, only four of them go back to 2014. The 2015 and 2019 Rugby World Cup years meant no Tests were played in June in those years. We just went straight from Super Rugby to the shortened Rugby Championship. And of the four series, only the 2016 series against England where the Wallabies have not won the first Test. Against France in 2014, the Wallabies won in Brisbane and finished the draw in Melbourne, before completing a clean sweep of the draw in Sydney. And against France again last year, the Wallabies won again in Brisbane but dropped a second Test in Melbourne. A Noah Lolesio penalty scored the tie again in Brisbane. Fourth draw against Ireland in 2018, where again the Wallabies won the first Test in Brisbane, but then lost the draw following defeats in Mel
