IND vs AUS: The 4-match Border-Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia will begin on February 9 at Nagpur ground. Even before the start of this series, the rhetoric about the pitch has started. Former Australian wicket-keeper player Ian Healy said in a statement that if we get pitches like the 2016-17 series on this tour as well, then it can be difficult for the Australia team. Now R Ashwin has also responded to his statement regarding the behavior of the pitch.
Ian Healy had said in his statement that if India prepares a pitch which will initially prove to be helpful for batting and spin bowlers as the game progresses, then the Australian team will have a good chance of winning the series. But if India prepare pitches like the previous series where unusual bounce and spin was seen from day one, then on such pitches they show better game than us.
Such rhetoric from Australia will continue – Ashwin
Ashwin further said that Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja have given some statements before the start of this series. At the same time, some similar statements were also seen from Marnish Labushen and Matt Renshaw. During this entire series, you will get to see such rhetoric continuously.
Let us tell you that the Australian team is not playing any practice match before the start of the Test series against India and Ashwin targeted his move and said that when you have to play a series of 3 or 4 Test matches on a tour of a country If it happens then you have to spend more than 1 month there. In such a situation, if you should play a practice match before entering the Test series so that you can adapt yourself to the conditions there, but the Australian team did not do this because they did not want to get tired. They decided to practice according to the conditions here in their own country.
