Australian legend Adam Gilchrist believes the team led by Pat Cummins can shatter the huge spin myth about India and deliver another legendary test series win.
India and Australia are by far the top two test teams in the current World Test Championship cycle, and it’s no surprise that they will be competing in the final round of the tournament and the most anticipated test series, the Border Gavaskar series. It seems. Opening on 9 February, Australia will be looking to regain the trophy for the first time since his 2014/15 series and his first Test series win in 19 years in India. Australia will also remember to stay in contention for the WTC Finals. But Australian legend Adam Gilchrist believes Pat Cummins and his team can once again claim victory in the legendary test series by busting the giant spin myth about India. Gilchrist was Australia’s assistant skipper in the 2004 series. This is the only tournament Australia has won in her six visits to India this century. And the win was pulled off in a pretty Australian fashion. The Indian opposition was more concerned with finding the right mix of cranks to counter India. But Australia’s 2004 team had beaten India in an offense of three pacemakers and expert spinners.
“What we were trying to change in our mentality at the time, I’d like to know if the Australians are doing it this time, but they’re just rolling spinners instead of watching,” Gilchrist said on Fox. told sports. “Attack the stumps straight from the first ball. Swallow a little pride and be defensive to be aggressive…
“Starting with a slip, starting with a mid-wicket catch, placing fielders on the boundary to negate the boundary option, but either short cover or short mid-wicket, keeping a few catchers in place and Please wait patiently.”
Legendary Groveman affirms Australia could stun India at home if Nathan in his Lyon implements a similar strategy where he plays three fast bowlers and he plays one spinner. increase.
“I think they’re going to make it (win the series). I really think so,” Gilchrist said. “I think they have a roster and a definitive XI with a lot of similarities to the team they joined in 2004. So many teams come to India to adapt and attract new weirdos to India. , but it doesn’t actually happen.
“Take the top four bowlers and run with them. If it’s three shears, they can all get really great reserve swings. Nathan Lyon is outstanding and obviously us is the best off-spinner I’ve ever had – that’s my intuition, you do this and you follow it.
