Ricky Ponting worries England getting whitewashed in the ongoing Ashes

Ricky Ponting, the legendary batsman,
worries England is in danger of being whitewashed in the ongoing Ashes series. The Three Lions
lost their first match of the five-match series by nine wickets at The Gabba in Brisbane. As a
result, they are behind 0-1 in the five-match series.
Joe Root and Dawid Malan saved the visitors' innings, but their efforts were vain. Meanwhile, Ponting believes Root and Co. have the best chance of winning in Brisbane since the conditions are comparable to those in England.
Things are only going to get better for the Australian. The weather (in Brisbane) resembled England's, and there was more pace and bounce, but England's bowlers will probably not get that much movement anywhere else for the duration of the series.
The second Test will be contested at the Adelaide Oval from Thursday, December 16, and a Day-Night match. If England doesn't go over the line next time, Ponting believes they could be in for a series whitewash.
After Josh Hazlewood was ruled out due to injury, Ponting believed Jhye Richardson should have an opportunity in the second Test. For a spot in the eleven, the Perth Scorchers fast bowler would face Michael Neser. Despite his belief that Neser would not be the worst choice, Ponting backed Richardson to make the team.
