Ashes 2021-22: Ricky Ponting explains WHY England are 'the worse-performing team in Australia'

Australia legend Ricky Ponting expresses utter disappointment towards England's 2021 Ashes performance. 

Former Australia skipper Ricky Ponting has slammed Joe Root-led England for their dismal performance in the first three Ashes Tests.

Pacer Scott Boland took six wickets in the second innings as Australia defeated England by an innings and 14 runs in the third Ashes Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Tuesday. With this win, Australia regained the Ashes as the hosts gained an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series.

"I don't think I've seen a worse-performing team in Australia than what I've seen over the last three games. England might need to have a look at how they can make their conditions more suitable to ours. They play well in England still but they don't play well when they come here - so maybe they play more with the Kookaburra ball," cricket.com.au quoted Ponting.
