adminSYDNEY. — Former Australia cricket captains Ricky Ponting, Steve Waugh and Allan Border threw their support behind embattled skipper Michael Clarke yesterday, saying it was ridiculous to be questioning his credentials.
Clarke arrived in Sydney on Wednesday after the team’s thumping 2-0 Test loss to Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates to a barrage of questions over whether he remained the best man to head the side.
Ponting said Clarke, despite battling a form slump, remained his pick as captain.
“I think that was quite ridiculous, to tell you the truth,” he said of the grilling Clarke received, as the three former captains gathered to mark 100 days before the start of the 2015 World Cup, to be co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. — AFP.
