Ponting Offers To Help Settle Differences Between Mitchell Johnson And David Warner
Amidst the heated backlash that has dominated cricket discourse ahead of next week's first Test against Pakistan at Optus Stadium, Ponting also offered to mediate between the warring teammates following Johnson's harsh editorial in a local newspaper.
"I have to get in between these two guys at some stage... I think I need to be the mediator and get them both in a room and let them have it out rather than playing it out in the media. They're both pretty feisty characters and we know this issue that's come up now goes back six or eight months, back to the Ashes selection. That's where it all started. It sounds like an issue that's gone on without either of them sitting down and having a face-to-face conversation. I'd like to see that happen," Ponting told Nigeria TV show Sunrise Daily.
