"If he does have a chink in his armour it's the ball which does come back into him...
"Quite often leaves a big gap between bat and pad and that's where the Aussies will target."

Cameron Green has chronic kidney disease.
There are five stages to it, with the fifth stage requiring a transplant or dialysis.
This is how Green - currently at stage two - manages the condition every day...
"Mr Rodney Hogg said we were pathetic and hopeless. So that was our inspiration, we wanted to show the world we are not pathetic.
"And I must ask him, are these muscles big enough for him?"

Today, in Ricky Ponting commentary:
"It looks like (Carey's) eyes are spinning a bit to me. He's in overdrive at the moment, wants to hit every ball.
"I agree with you Bish, just go a bit more defensive, make him play a big shot from a good length ball."
Cue the video

EXTRAORDINARY!
Grace Harris had a broken bat, and this is how it played out:
"Hey guys, I need a new bat!"
"Stuff it, I'll still hit it!"
And then Harris hits it for SIX!

From Pakistan, to Hawkesbury in Sydney, back to Pakistan, and now a Test debut.

Ricky Ponting: "He'll drag the length back now, Coulter-Nile, take the pace off. It's what he does so well here at the MCG."
No prizes for guessing what Coulter-Nile does next to get Chaudhary's wicket...

On Boxing Day, Ricky Ponting explained the thought process behind what happens when there's a field change.
During Mitch Marsh's innings on Day 2, we saw how it plays out in real-time for the LBW decision (that was eventually overturned)
#AUSvPAK
"A very distinct change of tactics now for Cam Green - they'll get a lot fuller and a lot straighter, they'll target his stumps."
- Ricky Ponting, right as Ben Stokes runs in and ... bowls Green
#Ashes
A Boxing Day treat.
Ricky Ponting takes us through a batter's point of view facing their first over in the middle from Shaheen Afridi.
- Decisions to be made
- Reading the field
- Focusing on strengths
- Working through plans
A fascinating watch

"I mentioned to JL who was commentating with me that I'd had these pains in my chest ... 10 or 15 minutes later I was in the hospital getting the best treatment I possibly could."

about experiencing Pakistan when Australia toured, and their keenness to return 🙌
Sport reaches its highest form when there’s genuine rivalry. When it’s more than a contest.
In cricket we have the Ashes – Australia and the old enemy, England. But now, there’s a great modern enemy.
This is Australia v India, and it’s not to be missed.

Wow. WOW.
For the first time in more than three decades, Australia are beaten at the Gabba.
Which means, against ALL odds, India win the series 2-1! Unbelievable scenes 😮
