Australia must regroup and regroup fast if they are not to hand back the Ashes urn at Trent Bridge.
In his latest Sky Sports video blog, Ricky Ponting admits he’s never seen a series like the current one playing out where the form of each team has been so inconsistent.
The former Australia skipper also explains how he’d look to lift the dressing room as captain in the wake of the eight-wicket mauling at Edgbaston.
Plus, he says James Anderson’s injury might be a double boost for Australia – given not only the seamer’s skill level, but how it might influence the type of pitch England produce.
Oh – Ponting also insists he’s looking forward to Trent Bridge – even if it raises the prospect of plenty of talk about a certain run out in 2005…
