He scored 166 runs in 4 innings at an average of 55 in the unofficial test match against India A. McSweeney may get a chance to debut during the Perth Test.

‘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.
BGT 2024-25: Before BGT, photo of Mitchell Starc practicing with a special ball went viral.
Border-Gavaskar Trophy will start from 22nd November Mitchell Starc (Image Credit- Twitter X) Before the much-awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test series between Australia and India (AUS vs IND), Australian team fast bowler Mitchell Starc has made headlines. It is noteworthy that the first match of this series will be played at Perth Stadium from 22nd November. So, before this match, in a practice session of the Australian team, Starc was seen practicing with a special kind of ball. The ball with which Starc is practicing is red on one side and white on the other. According to cricket experts, this type of ball helps the bowler a lot in maintaining hand-eye balance. By practicing with this type of ball, Starc can gain control over the late movement swing in the match. The pitch curator of Perth Stadium recently said that some grass is expected to be left on the pitch, due to which the fast bowlers can prove to be effective in the match. See this photo of Mitchell Starc viral on the internet Mitchell Starc was seen using a ball that was half red and half white to assist batters in practicing for lateral movement. 📷: Rev Sportz pic.twitter.com/JaKOsHrSMq — SportsTiger (@The_SportsTiger) November 18, 2024 On the other hand, if the latest media reports are to be believed, then Indian batsmen may face a lot of trouble due to late movement bowling at the end of the first Test match to be held in Perth. Perhaps this is the reason why Starc is practicing with a special type of ball before this match to take advantage of this weakness of India. However, this move by Australia could serve as a double-edged sword, as the current Indian team has a lot of bowlers who can work their magic in swing conditions. So if we tell you about Starc’s performance in Test cricket in the year 2024, he has bowled in 10 innings, in which he has taken a total of 27 wickets at an average of 32.25 and strike rate of 49.60. Apart from this, his average in Test cricket against the Indian team is 35.84. However, now it will be worth watching whether Starc is able to reduce his average against Team India in the upcoming series or not?
