DTVHINDIAUS vs IND 2024-25: Know what is snake crack? Which the Perth pitch curator did not expect amid heavy rain
The first match of the BGT series will be played at Optus Stadium, Perth from 22 November. Perth (Image Credit- Twitter X) Snake cracks in the pitch are a common thing in Perth, Australia. Because of this, the bowlers get a lot of pace and bounce in the old cricket ground located at WACA, Perth. So, the new stadium recently completed at Optus Stadium in Perth is also of this type. The bowlers will also get to see pace and bounce from this pitch, and as the game progresses, the snake cracks on the pitch will open up further. Because of this, spinners can play an important role. Because sometimes these cracks can open up to the extent of 5 mm and batting in this situation is not at all easy. However, preparations for the new pitch that has been completed at the Optus Stadium have been hampered by continuous rain. The pitch had been covered for a long time and this has forced pitch curator Issac McDonald to adapt to the conditions. But despite this, he feels that there will be an equal competition between ball and bat in the first test match of BGT starting from November 22 in Perth. He also said that the pitch is expected to be bad, but big snake cracks are not expected, which troubles the batsmen a lot. Issac McDonald gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the first match of BGT starting in Perth, Issac McDonald was quoted by Business Standard as saying – This (Snake Crack) is based on a lot of conditions. At the moment, we are leaning towards rolling it a little more over the top for a pleasant even collision between bat and ball. It would be good for the pitch if the sun comes out. But really the curating team is spontaneous. I don’t think this weather will spoil the pitch, but there will be some deterioration in the pitch. But with big snake cracks like the ones at the Waka, I don’t think the weather will take us there.
BGT 2024-25: ‘At least you should have called fast bowler captain’ Jasprit Bumrah on being called a medium pace bowler by the reporter
Bumrah is continuously playing the role of vice-captain in test cricket. Jasprit Bumrah (Image Credit- Twitter X) The Indian cricket team is going to face Australia on November 22 in the first match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series. Rohit Sharma will not be able to play in this match due to personal reasons, as he is currently present in Mumbai due to the birth of his second child. He will join the team before the second Test to be held in Adelaide. So in the absence of Rohit, Jasprit Bumrah will be seen captaining the team. Bumrah is currently playing the role of vice-captain in Test cricket. This will be the second time when Bumrah will be seen captaining the Indian team in the biggest format of the game. Before this, Bumrah has captained in the rescheduled Test match against England in the year 2022. On the other hand, in the pre-match conference held before the first match of BGT to be held in Perth, captain Jasprit Bumrah was seen correcting a reporter who mistakenly called him a medium pace fast bowler. Here is Bumrah’s amazing moment in the press conference. Question – How does it feel to captain India as a medium pace all-rounder? Jasprit Bumrah – Man, I can bowl at a speed of 150 kmph, at least you fast bowler captain says so (laughs) I am one of the supporters of fast bowling captains: Bumrah On the other hand, in this conference, Jasprit Bumrah has been seen supporting the fast bowling captains in Test cricket. So in the past, Bumrah has been seen many times being vocal about taking command of the Indian team. Bumrah further said- I have been one of the supporters, there are many such examples, fast bowlers are smart. Pat Cummins has been successful, Kapil Dev did it before, hopefully this is the start of a new approach.
‘He starts his average from zero’ Matthew Hayden ignores Virat Kohli’s recent Test form
Virat was able to score only 93 runs in 6 innings against New Zealand. Matthew Hayden and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter Recently, former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has given a big statement about former Indian captain Virat Kohli. Ignoring Kohli’s recent Test form, Hayden has said that he is going to perform well in the BGT series. It is noteworthy that for some time now, Kohli’s bat seems to be calm in the biggest format of the game. In the last 12 innings played in Test cricket, Kohli has scored a total of 250 runs at a modest average of 22.72. However, if Team India has to do better in the first match in Perth in the absence of Rohit Sharma, then Kohli will have to come forward and perform. He starts his average from zero: Matthew Hayden Let us tell you that in a recent discussion with Cricket Australia before the start of BGT, Hayden said – Naturally, there should be the hunger that Virat always brings in any kind of competition, and in the history of Test match cricket, it should be more than this. There is no one bigger. He is in the team that has dominated Australia on its own soil for almost a decade. This is an important factor for the place where he has worked really hard. A lot of his impact on the game can be seen not only with the bat in his hand, but also in his confidence in the competition and his fitness level. Hayden further said- So Virat has a lot to play for. Unfortunately, he has not been able to continue his excellent form in recent times. But this season is new and he starts his average from zero. We all know that he is capable of averaging over 50. He is the second greatest player in his country after Sachin Tendulkar. So, I wish him all the best.
Virat Kohli is going to perform brilliantly in BGT, Irfan Pathan listed 2 big reasons
Border-Gavaskar series starting from 22nd November Irfan Pathan and Virat Kohli (Image Credit- Twitter The Indian team is going to face Australia very soon in the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) test series. It is noteworthy that the first test match between the two teams will be played on November 22 at Optus Stadium in Perth. However, this series is not going to be easy for India, because recently India had to face 3-0 defeat in the Test series against New Zealand in India. So, if Team India has to perform well against Australia, then the team’s star players Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant will have to perform at any cost. On the other hand, before the start of this much-awaited series, Team India’s former all-rounder and T20 World Cup champion player Irfan Pathan has given a big reaction. Irfan has said that Virat Kohli is going to perform well in this series, and he has given two reasons for this. Let us tell you that before the start of BGT, Irrfan has shared a post on his official X account. In this post Irfan said- I believe that Virat Kohli will perform excellently in Australia. First- He plays well against pace. Despite his recent decline in Test form, his numbers against pace remain exceptional. Australia’s fast and bouncy pitches will prove to be its strength. Second- Kohli avoids energy and big challenges. The Australian team will attack it hard and there is no bigger challenge for Australia than playing a Test on its soil. This is the time when Kohli’s competitive spirit really shines. See this post of Irfan Pathan Why I believe Virat Kohli will excel in Australia: 1️⃣ He thrives against pace. Despite his recent dip in Test form, his numbers against pace remain exceptional. Australia’s fast and bouncy pitches will play to its strengths.2️⃣ Kohli feeds off energy and big challenges.

Ajit Agarkar will stay in Australia during BGT, BCCI is making strong future plans
The first match of the Test series will be played in Perth from 22 November. Ajit Agarkar & Gautam Gambhir (Photo Source: A big update related to Border-Gavaskar Trophy is coming out. Indian cricket team’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar is in Australia and has been asked to stay there for the entire tour. Recently, after the crushing defeat in the home Test series against New Zealand, Team India is being made fun of in the entire cricket world. It has only been a few days since Gautam Gambhir became the head coach and ever since he took charge of the team, the performance of the team has not been that good. In such a situation, in the coming time, India may get to see some new players in every format. The team management has also started preparations for this. Ajit Agarkar will be in Australia during BGT According to the report of Times of India, the selectors and coaches want to know from the senior players about their future plans regarding their career. Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin are all aged 35 or older. Of these, Ashwin has been playing Test cricket continuously for many years. Now these players will have to tell how they are seeing their career going forward. The BCCI source said, “Both Agarkar and Gambhir know that such a poor performance in India will lead to widespread criticism, which is justified. Since it is a long tour, both can sit together and discuss how things can be taken forward after the tour. It will take at least one and a half years for both of them to build a strong backup team. This is where both have to be on the same page about the process.” India has to play some matches of the World Test Championship and big tournaments like Champions Trophy in the coming days. India will not have much time for this and in this they will try their best to retain their core team. However, after this they are planning to make big changes in the team which especially includes the T20 format.
‘Whenever I come out to bat’ Mitchell Marsh opens up on his tumultuous Test career ahead of BGT
Marsh played 42 Test matches for Australia, scoring 2010 runs at an average of 30.45. Mitchell Marsh (Image Credit- Twitter X) Mitchell Marsh, brother of former Australian cricketer Shaun Marsh, was always under pressure, because the spotlight kept shining on him from the very beginning. So now before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia at home, the player has given a big statement. Marsh says that whenever I come out to bat, I am troubling myself like any other person. It is noteworthy that in the beginning of his Test career, Marsh was not able to perform as per expectations. The 33-year-old all-rounder made his Test debut for Australia in 2014, but due to his lack of consistent performance, he was soon dropped from the team. After the Sandpapergate scandal, he not only returned to the team, but was also made the vice-captain of the Test team. After this, he was again dropped from the Test team within a year. However, after this, Marsh has been successful in playing white ball cricket continuously for Australia and is currently the captain of the Australian T20 team. Mitchell Marsh gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently in a discussion with Fox Cricket before BGT, Mitchell Marsh said – The truth is that I am a human being and whenever I come out to bat, I treat myself like any other person. I am disturbing you. I’ve worked really hard on the mental side of my game so I can go out there and get straight into my pre-ball routine, no matter how nervous I am. Marsh further said- For me, it is all about my preparation. If I prepare well, go into a game or an innings really confident, then if I fail, I can look at myself in the mirror and say I really did everything I could. Could do.

Even though Prasidh Krishna performed very well in the unofficial test match, I feel that the best replacement for Mohammed Shami is Akash Deep. He can be seen bowling lethal bowling in both Perth and Adelaide. Will prove to be a fast bowler for both the teams: Matthew Hayden The former player further said, ‘Fast bowling attack will be important for both the teams. Fast bowlers will prove to be key players for both the teams. The batting lineup in Test cricket has been quite troubled in the last few years.
