New Delhi:
Now the role is being made for the third Test against Australia (Australis vs India 3rd Test). Statements from former cricketers have started coming in, meanwhile, the look of the pitch of the third Test to be held at Gabba in Brisbane has been revealed. And surely after seeing this look, Team India will be happy and also a little worried. At the same time, the recent record of Kangaroo is also a matter of more than a little concern for the hosts. Australia has lost both the last Test matches played on this ground. In the Test played in January this year, it was defeated by the West Indies, while in the year 2021, Rishabh Pant’s brilliant batting gave India one of the best wins of all time while chasing the target of 329 runs.
The curator has a different opinion!
Between these two defeats, Australia has a win in December. And Gabba curator David Sanderski admitted that a difference of four weeks can make a big difference on the pitch. He said, “Obviously the different time of the year makes a difference. It can be a very different pitch. In the latter part of the season the pitch may be a little broken, whereas the one used at the beginning of the season may be a little fresher and have a little more Could be more help”, Sanderski said. To be honest, we will create a pitch that behaves the same all the time. It has the pace and bounce that Gaba is known for.”
Vaughan’s advice to the Kangaroos
At the same time, former England captain Michael Vaughan, who is in the news for his comments, has advised the Australian bowlers to “bowl short balls regularly at Gabba”, clearly meaning that there will be a bouncy pitch in the third Test. Going to meet. And the first look of the pitch that has come out is completely green and this will create mixed feelings in the Indian camp.
This has happened only five times
Talking about Australia, since 1931 till now, the host team has played only five Test matches at Gabba after Christmas. And in three of these he had to face defeat. It is also a relief for him that this test match will be played before Christmas. By the way, the second Test match of Ashes will be played in Gabba next year. This Test will be a day-night match to be played in the first week of December.
…that’s why it’s a fifty-fifty thing for India
The positive thing for Team India is that Indian batsmen will again turn to red-ball. At the same time, if the pitch is fast, then it can be assumed that the Indian pacers will like it just like it did in Perth. India defeated Australia by 295 runs on the fast pitch of Perth to take a 1-0 lead in the series. On this fast pitch, the Indian pacers under the leadership of Bumrah had performed brilliantly, but there are two matters of concern for India. The first is that Team India is coming after a loss, while its batsmen are not able to perform as per expectations.
