“Take out Labuschagne” – Former Australian legend gave a shocking statement before the pink ball test.
Labuschagne had scored two half-centuries in the first Test played against Pakistan this year. However, the world No. 1 batsman in Test cricket has looked out of form since then. He has scored just one half-century in his last 10 innings in the longest format of the game. Labuschagne recorded scores of 2 (52) and 3 (5) in the first Test against India at the Optus Stadium in Perth. He was out LBW in both the innings. Mitchell Johnson gave a shocking statement regarding Marnus Labuschagne Mitchell Johnson wrote in his column in ‘Nightly’, “Marnus Labuschagne has been struggling to score runs for a long time and another player should be fielded in his place in the second Test match in Adelaide. This does not mean that anyone was made a scapegoat for the crushing defeat in the first Test match. Johnson believes that Labuschagne should play domestic cricket to get back in form.
BGT: “They are a better team away from home now…”, big statement from Australian legend Ricky Ponting
The second Test match between India and Australia will be played in Adelaide from 6 December. Team India & Ricky Ponting (Photo Source: Getty Images) India started the series in great style by defeating Australia by 295 runs in the first Test match of Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. In the first innings of the Perth Test, the Indian team had to struggle against the Australian fast bowling attack, the team was reduced to a score of just 150. The team then made a strong comeback in the second innings and gave Australia a target of 534 runs due to the brilliant batting of Yashasvi Jaiswal (161), Virat Kohli (100*) and KL Rahul (77). Due to the brilliant bowling of Jasprit Bumrah, Siraj and Harshit Rana, the host team was all out on 238. After India’s victory in the Perth Test, Australian legend Ricky Ponting praised the team and described Yashasvi Jaiswal as a big talent in India. Yashasvi was out on a duck in the first innings, but then compensated in the second innings by scoring a brilliant century. Ponting also said that Team India performs better abroad than at home. Ricky Ponting said this after India’s victory in Perth Test Ricky Ponting while talking on Star Sports said, He (Yashaswi Jaiswal) is not playing his first match, so obviously there is some discussion about him, and he is definitely very skillful. I think we saw that in the second inning this week. He is a huge talent in India, and he is going to play a lot of cricket for them. It was good to get him out cheaply in the first innings, but he certainly made up for it in the second innings. So, you have to give them credit. Ponting further said, I didn’t think they would be able to win the first Test, going to India, Perth, in conditions that are so foreign to them. But I also said before the Test match that I think India are a better team away from home now than they are at home. I think they now play better on foreign wickets and conditions than in their own country. And this was proved last week in Perth.

His highest individual score here is 169 runs. Speaking on SENQ Breakfast, Ian Healy said, ‘First of all I want to see how our fast bowlers bowl against Virat Kohli. I would say that the bowlers should first target the front leg of Virat Kohli. After this, as soon as they faced some trouble, the host bowlers bowled short balls. This will cause a lot of trouble to Virat Kohli and we can take his wicket soon. If this is not making any difference then target their body. I am sure that Virat Kohli will have a lot of trouble with this. Ian Healy gave a big statement about Virat Kohli Ian Healy further said, ‘Keep the ball away from Virat Kohli so that he wants to come and hit the ball. You can then target their front pad. But if his footwork is good then target the body. I want him to play an uncontrolled hook or bridge. I will definitely have a short leg against him in Perth.

Former Australian cricketer targeted Gautam Gambhir, said- he is not suitable for the Indian team
Gambhir had given a sharp reaction to Ricky Ponting’s statement regarding the form of senior batsman Kohli and captain Rohit Sharma. Gautam Gambhir and Tim Paine The Indian team is all set to play the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 against Australia. At the same time, before the series, the phase of rhetoric is going on from both the camps. In this series, former Australian captain Tim Paine has given a big statement regarding head coach Gautam Gambhir. He believes that Gambhir is not fit for the post of head coach. Let us tell you that the first test match between India and Australia will be played in Perth from 22nd November. This series is going to be very important for Gautam Gambhir. Because recently India had to face a clean sweep in the home Test series against New Zealand. There has also been defeat in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. In such a situation, there is a lot of pressure on Gautam Gambhir as head coach. Before leaving for Australia, Gautam Gambhir addressed the media, in which he gave a very sharp reaction to Ricky Ponting’s statement. There were reactions from fans including former cricketers on this. Now former Australian cricketer Tim Paine has also spoken openly on this. What he was asked was a very simple question – Tim Paine I didn’t like his reaction, the former wicketkeeper-batsman told SEN Tassie. I think this would not send a good signal. What he was asked was a very simple question. That said, I think he’s probably still looking at Ricky as someone he’s playing against, but Ricky is a commentator now – he’s paid to give opinions, and his opinions. It was absolutely correct. Virat is struggling, it is a matter of concern. But for me, the biggest concern for India at the moment is not Rohit Sharma’s batting, not Virat Kohli’s batting, it is their coach and his ability to remain calm under pressure. Paine further said that, Ravi Shastri had created a great atmosphere, the players were energetic, they played with passion, he sold them dreams and really inspired them in a light and entertaining way. They’ve got a new coach now who’s really angry, competitive. And that doesn’t mean it’s not a good thing and not a good way of coaching – but my concern is that it’s not suitable for the Indian cricket team.
No preparation for BGT… Pat Cummins had gone to watch the concert, former Australian player raised questions
Pat Cummins is being criticized a lot at the moment, because instead of preparing for the upcoming BGT, he went to watch a Coldplay concert at Accor Stadium in Sydney with his wife. Pat Cummins & his Wife and Michael Clarke (Photo Source: The Australian team recently suffered a 2-1 defeat in the ODI series against Pakistan. Under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan created history, the team won the ODI series on Australian soil after 22 years. Pakistan had to face defeat by 2 wickets in the first match of the series. Then after Pakistan won by 9 wickets in the second ODI, the series was tied at 1-1. The third ODI was played in Perth on 10 November. Captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne were released from the squad in preparation for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Pakistan again showed amazing form in the third ODI and won by 8 wickets. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins is being criticized a lot because instead of preparing for the upcoming BGT, he went to watch a Coldplay concert at Accor Stadium in Sydney with his wife and on the other hand Australia lost in the series decider match. Former Australian player Michael Clarke says that if he had been in Cummins’ place, the media would have taken him to task. Michael Clarke said this about Pat Cummins and the Australian team Michael Clarke emphasized that there were 11 days from the last ODI against Pakistan to the first Test against India. Therefore, the players who were rested could play. Michael Clarke speaking on ESPNcricinfo I think the media would have completely torn me apart. I think I have said in the last few days how I felt about Test players not playing the last one day. I would have loved to see them play that game. There were 11 days from the last ODI to the first Test, so I thought they all could have played. If Cricket Australia wanted to rest the fast bowlers, I understand, but I’m sure the batsmen who were kept out could probably play.
“Opening is difficult…not that bounce…”, big statement of former Australian cricketer regarding Yashasvi Jaiswal
Yashasvi is the second batsman to score the most runs in the World Test Championship cycle. Yashasvi Jaiswal & Brad Haddin (Photo Source: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is starting from November 22, the first match between the two teams will be played in Perth. Team India is touring Australia after a 3-0 defeat in the last Test series against New Zealand. The performance of the batsmen at home against New Zealand has been disappointing, which is a matter of concern. Meanwhile, the former Australian player has warned Team India before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Haddin says that Indian batsmen will not be able to face Australia’s fast bowlers, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal. Brad Haddin said this about Yashvi Jaiswal Brad Haddin says that Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is definitely a good player, but he has not toured Australia before so things will be difficult for him. Let us tell you, Yashasvi is the second batsman to score the most runs in the World Test Championship cycle. He has scored 1407 runs for India in 26 innings, which includes two double centuries. According to Times of India, Brad Haddin while speaking on LisTNR Sport Podcast said, I don’t think Indian batsmen will be able to face our fast bowlers. I know Jaiswal is a really good player, but he hasn’t toured Australia before, so I’m not sure whether he can handle the bounce or not. Opening in Perth is a tough job. India has won the last two Test series in Australia 2-1. The team would like to repeat history this time too, because the team can reach the final of the World Test Championship only by winning four of the upcoming five-match Test series. On the other hand, Australia is keen to defeat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014-15. Take a look at India’s squad for BGT 2024-25- Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar
Virat Kohli dominates Australian newspaper, Hindi words used on front page
The first Test match between India and Australia is to be played in Perth from 22 November. Virat Kohli (Photo Source: The Indian team is currently on Australia tour, where a five-match Test series will be played between the two teams under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Team India’s players have reached Australia in two batches for this series. After Virat reached Australia, the glory of King Kohli was seen in the newspapers there. Not only the sports page, but Virat Kohli’s arrival has been reported on the front page of many Australian newspapers. Not only this, an English newspaper was seen painted in Indian colors and they used Hindi fonts on the front page of their English newspaper, the photo of which is going viral on social media. Let us tell you that before this series, Team India had played a series against New Zealand where they had to face a bad defeat and in that series Virat was also seen flopping with the bat. Virat Kohli’s photo printed on the front page of Australian newspapers Despite Virat’s poor form, everyone knows how big his stature is in cricket at this time. Perhaps this is the reason why Virat Kohli’s picture appeared on the front pages of Australian newspapers. The Telegraph not only mentioned Virat Kohli on its front page, but also used Hindi language and wrote in the headline, “Battle of the Ages” which is making headlines at the moment. Let us tell you that this tour is very important for Virat Kohli. He has retired from T20 International cricket and has been struggling to score runs in Test cricket for a long time. Virat Kohli has scored only 192 runs in the last 10 innings. In such a situation, it is very important for him to perform well in the five-match Test series against Australia. This series is very important for India from the point of view of the World Test Championship. In fact, after losing the series 3-0 against New Zealand, the path to the WTC final has become difficult for Team India and if they have to reach there then the Indian team will have to win at least four out of five matches against Australia. .
