Ricky Ponting always surprised the opposition during his time regarding his ability to read the game. Now, the former Aussie skipper is doing a similar job in the com-box. Recently, there was an event in which he predicted the dismissal of Cameroon Green a ball before the all-rounder fell. In this article, we take a look at the video in which Ricky Ponting predicts Cameroon Green‘s wicket with an accurate analysis of his technique.
Ponting Predicts Cameroon Green’s Wicket
Just before Ben Stokes was going to bowl, Ponting said that since Green has an open stance, the English bowlers could bowl full. Here is what he said, “Very distinct change of tactics for the new batsman Cameron Green. They will get a lot fuller and straighter, they will target his stumps. Have a look at how he sets up in his stance. He sets up with a very open front foot. That is generally a sign of someone who is very worried about getting LBW, doesn’t want to get their front foot too far across into the line of his stumps.”
"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."

Soon after he finished his analysis, Stokes bowled a full delivery and got Green out bowled. Ponting finished off by saying Green must change his stance going forward.
Australia heading for a 2-0 lead
Meanwhile, after the proceedings on Day 3, it appears that Australia will go 2-0 up in the Ashes. They have firm control of the game and unless the English bowlers do well tomorrow, Australia is likely to win the game. For England, it was yet another batting collapse that has landed them in a dangerous situation.
