A green pitch has been prepared for the first Test and due to rain the pitch remained under cover for a long time, which may cause further problems for the batsmen. In such a situation, bowlers will be seen playing an important role. Know about Australia’s possible playing 11- Nathan McSweeney can be seen opening with Usman Khawaja in the first Test match against India. 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. Australia’s middle order is strong with Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh. The fast bowling unit looks good with captain Pat Cummins, Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Marsh. If needed, the team can use Marnus Labuschagne as the fifth fast bowler. Whereas, if we talk about spin, Nathan Lyon will play an important role. Australia’s playing 11: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Alex Carey (wk), Mitchell Marsh, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon.
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?
Bumrah’s tension may increase after seeing these figures before BGT, Pat Cummins alone said…
AUS vs IND (Photo Source: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is going to start from November 22 at the Optus Stadium in Perth. There will be a lot of pressure on the Indian team in this series after recently facing a clean sweep from New Zealand at home. The path to the World Test Championship has become difficult for India after losing 3-0 in the series against New Zealand. If India now wants to reach the WTC final, then they will have to perform well against Australia. To win BGT, Team India will have to perform well in all three departments (batting, bowling and fielding). The pace attack of the Indian team for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 is not as experienced as that of the host team Australia. You will be surprised to know that all the pacers of the Indian team together have not been able to take as many wickets in Test cricket as the Australian team captain Pat Cummins has in his account. AUS vs IND: India’s bowling attack is very weak compared to Australia. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are part of the playing XI for the Perth Test match. The number of Test wickets taken by these three is 900, whereas the four pacers of the Indian team together have been able to take only 265 wickets. In this way, in terms of bowling, the strength of the Australian team will be three times that of India. In the Test, Jasprit Bumrah has taken 173 wickets, Mohammad Siraj has taken 80 wickets, Akash Deep has taken 10 wickets and Prasidh Krishna has taken 2 wickets. The number of wickets taken by these four is 265, while Australian team captain Pat Cummins alone has taken 269 wickets in Test cricket. Whereas Harshit Rana and Nitish Reddy have not yet debuted in Test cricket. Although when Team India last toured Australia, India’s pace attack was much weaker than Australia, yet the Indian team was successful in defeating the Kangaroos at their home. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how Team India performs in this Border Gavaskar series.
