ASHES 2019: Ricky Ponting backs David Warner to retain opening spot at Oval
Manchester, Sep 9: Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has backed struggling opener David Warner to retain his position at Old Trafford. While Australia may have retained the Ashes with Warner taking a few stunners on the field, he has had a bit of a horror tour with the bat. England pacer Stuart Broad has tormented him and he has scored just 79 runs in eight innings.
But Ponting believes that Tim Paine, Justin Langer and Co. wouldn't be too keen on changing the team composition after their impressive win in Old Trafford. "Davey has obviously struggled but he's a quality player and if you looked at that, even if they were to leave him out of that game, he's going to start back in Australia anyway because his record in Australia is so good," the former Australian captain told cricket.com.au.
