Ricky Ponting Made An Incredible Prediction

Meanwhile, amidst the game, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting has wowed viewers with his incredible prediction. Ponting left internet stunned once again when he predicted the when and how of Marco Jansen‘s dismissal of Nathan Lyon during the first Test match between Australia and South Africa in Brisbane. 

The incident took place when South Africa was tottering at 132 for five, Ricky Ponting predicted the entire scene of how Lyon could pick his wicket. And much to everyone’s surprise, it hapened in the exact same manner. 

“Talk about the build-up of pressure that Mitchell Starc has created on Jansen,” Ponting said on Channel 7. “Quite often it can have an effect that the wicket will fall at the other end. Nathan Lyon is halfway through his fourth over. Only given up the eight runs, they’ve got mid-on three-quarters of the way back. They are tempting him with a build-up of pressure to try and hit over the top.”

The wicket happened exactly as predicted by the former Australian captain. In the very next ball, Jansen stepped out of the crease to take on Lyon and slog the delivery over mid-wicket, however, he ended up miscuing the shot in the air. Cameron Green made an easy run from short mid-wicket to complete the dismissal. Jansen was dismissed after scoring just two runs.

The video of the same has been going viral on the internet. Watch the video:
