Ricky Ponting believes his Australia side are likely to be facing both Michael Vaughan and Steve Harmison in the upcoming Ashes series against England. Vaughan, who captained England to Ashes glory in 2005, and pace bowler Harmison, who was one of the stars of that series, are currently out of an England squad which won the first of a two-Test series against the West Indies in convincing fashion last week.
But Ponting expects a greater emphasis on experience from the England selectors when they mull their options for the task of reclaiming the Ashes from a new-look Australian touring party. "I've just got a bit of a feeling that they might want to get Vaughan back into the set-up and they might pick Harmison for when we get there," Ponting told Sky Sports News on Wednesday. "So I think their side might actually shape up closer to the side of 2005 or 2007 than we actually think it might."
