Ponting backs Hauritz

MELBOURNE: Test captain Ricky Ponting on Monday backed Nathan Hauritz as Australia's No. 1 spinner for the coming Indian tour and the home Ashes series against England.

The off-spinner, who has snared 57 wickets at 31.82 in 15 Tests, is returning to full fitness after a foot injury forced him home during Australia's one-day series in England in June.

Hauritz, 29, has resumed bowling in training ahead of October's two-Test series against India in Mohali and Bangalore.

“I've spoken a bit to Nathan over the last couple of weeks,” Ponting told reporters at the MCG. — AFP
