Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting is known to be a tactical genius. While he was known for his cricketing mind even during his playing days, he has proven that time and again even during his commentary career. Ponting has accurately predicted the passage of play while analysing the game. While he famously predicted Prithvi Shaw's dismissal during India's tour of Australia, he has once again got one right when assessing what should be West Indies' plan to get rid of Alex Carey.
There was a gap of hardly a few seconds between Ponting's analysis and the wicket of Carey off Shamar Joseph which was exactly how Ponting reckoned it could come for West Indies. The video of the incident was shared by broadcasters 7Cricket.

AUS vs WI 2nd Test At An Interesting Juncture
The second Test match between Australia and West Indies stands at an interesting juncture. While West Indies batted first and posted 311, Australia declared their first innings at 289/9. As the Day 3 of the AUS vs WI 2nd Test unfolds at the Gabba in Brisban, the Men from the Carribean Islands have managed to extend their lead past 160 runs and have 6 wickets left in their kitty.
Kavem Hodge and Justin Greaves are in the middle of a solid partnership for the visitors and would look to put West Indies on the drivers seat as they look to square of the two-match series 1-1 after losing the series opener at the Adelaide Oval by 10 wickets.
