Ahead of the much-anticipated Ashes series, former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting feels that there`s a possibility of Joe Root breaking his century drought in Australia.

"That`s what it is, a mental thing for him this series more than anything else. His game is magnificent at the moment. He`s got to get over that little mental hurdle and get 100. And I actually think he will get that 100 this time around," Ponting said as quoted by the ICC.
