Bowlers would be Australia’s World Cup hopes: Ponting
Melbourne: Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has the opinion that Jason Behrendorff and Gurinder Sandhu and spinner Aston Agar would be the Australian key bowlers in the Australia’s 15-man 2015 ICC World Cup squad and would be players that would help them winning the cup.
Ponting said that Jason Behrendorff from the Perth Scorchers has been a standout for me so far in the Big Bash, and his domestic record is also good.
Ricky Ponting stated: “And Gurinder Sandhu is the other one. I think he’s a terrific short form bowler. He bowls well at the death in T20 games which is probably an area that Australia haven’t really ever excelled in the limited-overs game.”
But Ponting admitted there are a number of fast bowlers ahead of them in World Cup queue.
He further went on to say that they’re a couple of guys I think that will definitely be smokies. If you look at Johnson and (Mitchell) Starc and (Pat) Cummins and (Josh) Hazlewood and these boys, they’re probably the boys who have their names up in front of the selectors first and foremost, as they should.
Ponting said Agar could provide Australia a dynamic spinning option.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
