T20 World Cup: Lower order finisher role remains a headache for Australia, says Ricky Ponting

Ricky Ponting, coach of Delhi Capitals, said one of the reasons for Australia not having a good finisher was that all of the country's best batsmen bat in the top four in the Big Bash League.

Three-times ODI World Cup winner Ricky Ponting believes the lower-order 'finisher' role remains a headache for Australia despite there being no lack of experienced candidates. In an interview with cricket.com.au, the former Australia skipper says Australia lacks a "finisher" in the mould of former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni or all-rounder Hardik Pandya. "Dhoni has been in that one spot his whole career, and no wonder he’s so good at it. Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard are similar - these guys continually win games of cricket for their country, and in the IPL, they're used to going in batting at those spots," he added.
