As Ricky Ponting predicted in his video, “Cricket literacy rate,” R Ashwin used two emojis to show an ascending curve, quoting the Australian all-rounder Cameron Green’s dismissal.

Ricky Ponting had prophesied that Australia all-rounder Cameron Green would be dismissed on the second day of the second Ashes Test against England in Adelaide. Ravichandran Ashwin responded. India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin tweeted, “Cricket literacy rate” with an upward-curved emoji. Before Ben Stoke’s dismissal, Ponting had anticipated that England would target Green by shooting for the stumps while pointing out the flaws in her technique.

“Cam Green has seen a dramatic shift in strategy. Targeting his stumps, they’ll be a lot fuller and straighter. To avoid being LBW’d by the stumps, he sets up with an open front foot, which is often an indication of someone who is concerned about getting LBW “Ponting was commentating on 7Cricket when he made the statement.

It was an Australian victory in the pink-ball Test match. Day 3 of the second Test ended with Australia on 45-1, having amassed a massive advantage of 282 runs after dismissing England for 236 in the first innings.

Today’s 8-wicket loss for 86 runs put the visitors on the verge of defeat after they had dominated the opening session.

England’s Dawid Malan and Joe Root struck 80 and 62, respectively, to lead the way. In addition to Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes, the visitors only had two other batsmen reach double digits in the batting.

Mitchell Starc took four wickets, while Nathan Lyon took three for the hosts. Cameron Greem took two wickets, while Neser took one, for a total of three wickets.

This time around, Australia’s hitters had to deal with a challenging 17-over period as England could not get their innings back on track. David Warner’s lone wicket was the result of a blunder by the openers. Stuart Broad’s excellent fielding ensured that England’s lone opportunity didn’t go to waste.
