Legendary Australia National Cricket Team captain Ricky Ponting, who was in the commentary box for 7 cricket, perfectly predicted the exact mode of dismissal of the South Africa National Cricket Team all-rounder Marco Jansen in the Brisbane Test.

The first Test of the three-match series between the Pat Cummins-led Australia National Cricket Team and the Dean Elgar-led South Africa National Cricket Team is currently underway at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba, Brisbane.

Australia National Cricket Team won the toss and elected to bowl first in the match. The decision proved to be beneficial for Pat Cummins & Co. as the Proteas batters struggled heavily against the fierce Aussie attack.

During the 40th over of the first innings, Ricky Ponting, who is considered a sensational reader of the game, while commentating for 7 Cricket made a brilliantly accurate prediction about Jansen’s dismissal.

The 40th over was bowled by veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon and the legendary Australian captain Ponting said moments before the 5th ball was bowled that the Aussies want Jansen to play a shot over the top and that is what exactly happened.

“Nathan Lyon is halfway through his fourth over, only given up the 8 runs. They’ve got mid-on three-quarters the way back. They are tempting him with a build-up of pressure to try and hit over the top,” Ponting said while commentating for 7 Cricket moments before the 5th ball was bowled.

On the 5th ball of the 40th over, Lyon pitched the ball on a full length just outside off-stump and the Proteas all-rounder danced down the track to smash the ball with the turn over midwicket.

However, he failed to make a good connection with the ball and ended up top-edging it. The ball went very high into the air and Cameron Green ran back from midwicket with his eyes on the ball and managed to take a clean catch.
