Previous opening also feels that "home benefits in Australia has been significantly diminished," especially under lights.
Former Australia dough Matthew Hayden believes that the upcoming five-match Examine series between Australia and India, which will take place from November 2024 to January 2025, has" a lot of lost ground" and that works will "premium" be expected.
As for the character of pitches at the five locations- Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney- Hayden said on the outside of the CEAT cricket standing awards that" three]Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne ] out of five are drop-in batsmen".
" One is a day-night Test match]in Adelaide ]- the following Test match", he said. " Repeatedly, once you get those behind problems under that twilight area, they can be truly difficult]to bat on]. I may go as far as to suggest that the house edge in Australia has been taken away quite a lot, just on the premise that if you get the wrong part of a certain session, become that you're 4 for 130, at twilight you can be 8 for 150.
" So there's no opportunity to naturally occupy a game. It's quite even the whole time, so it's a very different type of cricket, because you do n't have those traditional surfaces."
Australia have not only lost their last two home set against India, hence losing their grip on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for ten years now, but also saw their stronghold in Brisbane breached twice in three times: the battle to India in January 2021 followed by one against a little lower-ranked West Indies in January earlier this year, which resulted in a 1-1 drawn line.
That slim, eight-run loss to West Indies was also Australia's first in a day-night Test after 11 straight victories.
Hayden could n't pick a favorite for the series, unlike his former captain Ricky Ponting, who had beaten Australia to a 3-1 victory in the upcoming matchup against India, who anticipated it would be an "unbelievable and historic series" between the top-two Test teams in the world.
" You look at the line-ups, and it's hard to really tell who's got the edge," Hayden said". I get the impression that the difference will be made through runs. So the best need to stand up in this series, runs are going to be at a premium. And I also think the tournament's shifting from the west to the east represents a particular form of cricket in Australia. It's usually the other way around. It's going to be a great summer."
For runs, a lot of eyes will be on the experienced Virat Kohli and Steven Smith- the leading run-scorers in Tests for their teams among active players, and also prolific scorers against the teams they're going to face soon. While Kohli averages 47.48 against Australia and 54.08 in Australia, Smith averages an even better 65.87 against India.
" I'm sure those two players, coming now to the later pages of their cricket career, will be very keen to dominate the landscape through the summer," Hayden said". That's their nature: they do it in very different ways, ]and ] very different styles, but certainly, they really are the keys to the Australian summer."
" His strokeplay is superb. His ability, in particular, to hit on the up through the covers is phenomenal. ] But ] that'll also have its vulnerabilities. I'm eager to see how he adjusts to bouncy tracks.
Matthew Hayden on Yashasvi Jaiswal
Due to the steeper bounce and the size of the grounds across the country, Hayden also cited the difficulty India's batters will face in Australian conditions. When asked about the kind of impact a young and promising batter like Yashasvi Jaiswal could make, as was pointed out by Nathan Lyon recently, Hayden said Jaiswal had" superb" strokeplay, but that he'll be challenged by three" world-class speedsters".
" I think he's a package," Hayden said of Jaiswal". Yes, his strokeplay is superb. His ability, in particular, to hit on the up through the covers is phenomenal. ] But ] that'll also have its vulnerabilities. I'm looking forward to seeing how he adjusts on bouncy tracks. We did notice a few times in the IPL that he's a very hard hitter of the ball -]with the] pull shots in particular.
" But three world-class speedsters, assuming they are all fit, will have to face that, on much bigger grounds, where the ball almost has to make contact for six feet. You can get caught easily, three-quarters of the way in the fence. Therefore, there are no significant adjustments that world-class players like Jaiswal will ever make.
