Lack Of Finishers Could Be Australia's Achilles' Heel: Ricky Ponting
Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting feels that lack of finishers with the bat in Australia's T20 World Cup squad could prove to be the weak link. He also said that all batsmen in the squad are top-order batsmen and bat at the same position for their Big Bash League clubs as well.
"All the batters in our T20 team bat one, two or three for their Big Bash teams and inevitably they become the leading runs scorers at the end of every Big Bash so they get picked for Australia. But [among those] who bat at five or six for their Big Bash team every game, who's in the current Australian team? There's no one," said Ponting on 'Breakfast with Gilly and Goss' show at SEN Perth on Friday.
