Since then, the Border-Gavaskar series has been organized twice in Australia and India has won it both times. The upcoming edition of BGT is scheduled to begin from November 22 with the first Test in Perth and the Indian team has reached Australia for the same. With less than 10 days left for the series to begin, Western Australia Cricket’s chief curator Isaac McDonald mentioned that Perth will be based entirely on pace and bounce. Isaac said the main objective of creating a fast-paced pitch was to replicate last year’s scenes. Australia is preparing a dangerous pitch for the Perth test match Notably, during the West Indies series, Perth’s pitches were under question due to lifeless decks and Isaac provided bounce and fast pace in the subsequent series against Pakistan. Isaac McDonald was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying, “This is Australia, this is Perth… I am preparing the pitch for really good pace, really good bounce and really good carry.” According to a report in The West Australian, the WACA stadium is currently in lockdown, which is reminiscent of the time when the Indian team reached Perth during the 2022 T20 World Cup in Australia. Its boundaries were covered with nets and closed to the public and apart from this, even the stadium staff were not allowed to use phones inside. Let us tell you that, India had to play a practice game against the India A team led by Ruturaj Gaikwad, which was already in Australia for a two-match unofficial Test series against Australia A. However, BCCI canceled the practice match after the clean sweep against New Zealand in the home Test series. BCCI does not want Indian players to get injured at the last minute.

“He is the most dangerous bowler…”, former Indian coach said about Mohammad Siraj
When the conditions are right and the ball keeps reversing, Siraj is probably one of the most dangerous bowlers in world cricket – Bharat Arun Mohammad Siraj (Photo Source: Team India has to play a two-match Test series against Bangladesh at home from 19 September next month. Before this series, some Indian players are going to play in the upcoming season of Duleep Trophy. At the same time, players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shami and Jaspreet Bumrah are on rest. Fast bowler Mohammad Siraj was going to play for Team-B in the Duleep Trophy, but has been ruled out of the first round due to illness. Meanwhile, India’s former bowling coach Bharat Arun has made a big statement about Siraj. Bharat Arun says that Siraj is one of the most dangerous bowlers in the world. Along with this, the former coach has also suggested Team India to look for other fast bowling options. Many bowlers bowl at the speed of 140-150 in IPL- Bharat Arun Team India has to tour Australia at the end of the year for a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The team has a lot of depth in batting, but the fast bowling attack is weak. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, Siraj, Mohammed Shami, the team does not have any fourth option. Young bowlers like Mukesh Kumar and Akash Deep have made their Test debuts, but no one knows whether they will be able to be effective on Australian soil or not. Shardul Thakur, who played an important role in the victory in the last series in Australia, is currently out of form. Former Indian bowling coach Bharat Arun has suggested to the management that they should look for some other options in the fast bowling attack by the end of November. Bharat Arun also stressed that it is important to become a good red ball format fast bowler before anything else if one wants to play for India for a long time. Speaking to the Indian Express, he said, It is a question of identifying the right bowlers and giving them the opportunity to prepare for the Australia tour. A lot of bowlers bowl at 140-150 in the IPL. So it is about training them properly and giving them experience. Red ball cricket is something these bowlers have to get used to. We have time but we need to prepare them by giving them enough overs. Bharat Arun further said, In first-class cricket you bowl on unresponsive pitches. You have to bowl smartly, otherwise you have to learn to reverse the ball because such are the conditions in our country. I think that helped Siraj and Shami a lot. That’s why when the conditions are right and the ball keeps reversing, Siraj is probably one of the most dangerous bowlers in world cricket.

T20 World Cup 2024: Trinidad pitch created a ruckus, former veterans raised big questions calling it ‘dangerous’
The pitch was a bit dangerous. Some balls were passing around the shoulder, neck, chin height of the South African fast bowlers – Andy Flower T20 World Cup 2024, SA vs AFG (Photo Source: Getty Images) South Africa has reached the final by defeating Afghanistan by 9 wickets in the first semi-final match of T20 World Cup 2024. With this victory, the African team has created history, the team is going to play a World Cup final for the first time. But meanwhile there is a ruckus about the pitch of Trinidad. After the match, Afghanistan’s head coach Jonathan Trott had said that this was not the semi-final pitch. At the same time, South African captain Aiden Markram is happy not to play on this pitch again. The Trinidad pitch was very difficult to bat on, which the African bowlers took advantage of. And Afghanistan was all out for 56 runs in 11.5 overs. Former Australian cricketer Tom Moody and former Zimbabwean player Andy Flower have made a big statement raising questions on the Trinidad pitch. T20 World Cup 2024: Playing on the pitch was a tough challenge- Tom Moody Former Australian player Tom Moody says that there should be equal competition between ball and bat. He says that batsmen should not face a pitch where the conditions are completely against them. Tom Moody also said that it is not right for teams to score more than 200 in every match, balance is needed in every match. Talking on ESPNcricinfo, Tom Moody said, You want a fair contest between bat and ball and I am not advocating that we need pitches where you need 200+ runs. But you need consistent bounce, that is the most important thing. Any batsman will put his hand up and say, that is the most important thing. If you have a ball that is hitting the toe of your bat or a ball that you feel you are going to punch the same length with your gloves, it is a very tough challenge to counter. The pitch was a bit dangerous- Andy Flower Former Zimbabwe player Andy Flower says that the pitch had inconsistent bounce, which troubled the batsmen. Flower also said that the pitch also looked dangerous because the balls were passing around the shoulders, neck and chin of the batsmen, which could also cause injuries. Andy Flower said, As a batsman, you’re trying to predict where the ball will be. You’d like to get it somewhere in the middle of the bat at least. And on this pitch, it was almost impossible to do that on any consistent basis. It was a bit dangerous actually. Some of the balls were going past the shoulders, necks, chin height of the South African fast bowlers. And one of them even went past the head of Quinton de Kock, the keeper. And I was glad nobody got hurt.
