Pat Cummins consistently hit the right areas during the third session of play on Thursday. He was the most economical of the Australian bowlers and was finally rewarded with the wicket of Shubman Gill.
Ponting was full of praise for the way Pat Cummins bowled. Speaking to cricket.com.au, he said:
Nathan Lyon, who picked up five-wicket hauls in both the innings 12 months ago against New Zealand at this same venue, has already found success on the pitch at Sydney.
Ricky Ponting also liked what he saw from Mitchell Starc on Day Two.
The wicket has just started to play a few more tricks: Ricky Ponting
Ricky Ponting pointed out that the pitch at the SCG has already started to play a few tricks. He reckons the bounce will become a bit more up and down in the days to come.
With the batting expected to be the most difficult during the fourth innings, Ponting stated that it will be crucial to restrict India to a slender lead.
After dismissing Australia for 338, India posted 96/2 at stumps on Day Two. The game currently hangs in the balance as the action moves into the third day.
