We really bat deep and it allows our top order to play with great freedom: Ponting

Ponting said, “It still allows us to keep Iyer, Wadhera, and Shashank in the middle of the innings, which we thought will be important for us in tonight's game.” “So, yes, I mean, it was probably a stunning call for LSG to see him [Inglis] Go out [at No.3] And it paid for us tonight. So once we got down for one [start]I think we were 70-years at the end of the powerplay, all the speed was going with us. You see with our batting, you know, we have found someone like Azmatullah [Omarzai] At number 9. So we really, really batting deeply, and it allows our top order to play with a lot of freedom. And he did this tonight. And, you know, to bat first and get that kind of total was a great attempt, “the head coach further said.
