Melbourne, Nov 4: Spin legend Shane Warne feels former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting was motivated by “jealousy” when he criticised his successor Michael Clarke in his autobiography.
In a stream of opinions ahead of the Ashes, Warne also criticised Alastair Cook and said the England skipper needs to be more “imaginative” to win the prestigious series starting later this month.
Ponting wrote in his book ‘At the Close of Play’ that he was disappointed Clarke did not contribute more when he was vice-captain, and suggested he didn’t buy into the dressing room culture.
However, Warne defended his “best friend” Clarke during his conversation with the English journalists to promote Sky Sports’ Ashes coverage.(PTI)
