'The bowler's got a ball... and you've got to play it' 🤔 Do you agree with Chappelli, or Punter?
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting was irate at the different condition of the two balls, calling for an investigation into the matter.
"You've got to be there to know exactly what went on, but my attitude always was that the bowler's got a ball, he's bowling it, and you've got to play it."Chappell's comments came after Australian opener Usman Khawaja voiced his frustration over the ball change after the end of the fifth Test. "You could see the writing on both sides and it hit my bat so hard ... I mean I've opened every single innings this Ashes series and I haven't felt a ball hit my bat as hard as that ball felt."I said to the boys coming into it, be careful, this new ball is going to be tricky. It's going to be a lot harder than that other ball.
