Road to India in Australia 2024-25

[the big bambino]

It's not just Pujara who'll be missed and account for India's loss this time.

AUS have 2 solid back-up AR quicks in Marsh and Green. Their big 3 quicks can stay fresh for longer and recover quicker. Plus MMarsh and Green make AUS batting stronger.

Green's just picked up a back injury and Marsh hasn't bowled much since picking up one in the IPL.

Hopefully they'd be fit and available for BGT.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Without player like Pujara doing what he did, Australia start as clear favourites. Should be able to win 3-1/4-1 or at the bare minimum 3-2.

Any other result, it'd mean India would have played to potential and Australia well below potential.

Won't be 4-1 or 3-2 either way. Can already pencil in the annual Sydney wash out

Well in fairness only 50% have been washed out in last 12 years. Australia won the other 6

Read somewhere green is injured and could be dobutful for bgt any aus fans?

Remember match in 2019 where we had Aussies follwing on before rain stoped us from winning series 3-1

My 6th sense is telling me , this series will be decided by Travis Head and Rishabh Pant . If Travis Head dominates then Australia will win and if Rishabh Pant dominates then India have a chance.

Amazing how far this hack has come. Was a gimme wicket on the previous two tours but suddenly he's a threat now

I will say Jaiswal more than Pant.

 

[Shri]

Jaiswal will fail. But play all 5 tests anyway

Have the same feeling.

Yeah fears of a back stress injury. I suppose he could play as a batsman only but it's certainly very bad news if so.

 

[Nintendo]

Green not being fit to bowl sucks, but ide still pick him as a specialist bat if he's gonna bat 4.

 

[Daemon]

Just pick him as specialist gully

He's averaged like 20 in his last dozen tests. You're confusing white ball and red ball cricket

 

[Qlder]

So not only is Green injured but Marsh just bowled for the first time in 15 white ball games. Bowled 4 overs, pulls up sore and misses the last ODI vs Eng today.

Can't see Marsh having any impact with ball this series

So what happens if both Marsh and Green miss out?

You guys get Bancroft to open and debut Hardie at 6?

Bancroft would be walking wicket for us

Bring back Tim Paine

 

[the big bambino]

As the news on Green seems to be confirming the worst I’m hoping Hardie spots the opportunity to take his place.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Use the opportunity to drop Lyon and play 4 quicks + part-time spinners, and actually prepare hard bouncy pace-friendly wickets for once
