" Many people have not defeated India in a Test line," said one player. It's really astounding", Hazlewood said
When Australia look to overtake England for the first time in a generation of "unfinished business," Nathan Lyon hopes to make use of the information gained from Tom Hartley during his time with Lancashire.
Since 2014-15, when Australia won 2-0, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has not been held, and that time has resulted in line loses on household dirt. After being bowled out for 36 in Adelaide, India overcame a stirring draw in Sydney and popular victories at the MCG and Gabba to win the series.
A series victory over India is a major missing piece for this generation of the Australia side, with current captain Pat Cummins among those yet to hold the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, although they did claim the World Test Championship ( WTC ) title in the one-off contest at The Oval last year.
" It's been ten years of empty company, it's been a long time, and I know we're really eager to turn things around particularly here at home", Lyon said. Do n't get me wrong, India is a phenomenal team that is challenging, but I'm determined to turn things around and get that trophy back.
We are on the verge of developing into a wonderful American cricket team, which you might not have heard of before. We're certainly not there but we are along that trip and have been playing some good cricket."
Lyon lauded India's ability to continue to get world-class people, and singled out opening Yashasvi Jaiswal among the newer titles. However, this winter, the bowler has used up some of his time playing county cricket to gain some insight.
" I have n't come across him]Jaiswal ] yet, but that will be a massive challenge for all us bowlers, "he said". I carefully followed his play against England, and I found that to be pretty incredible. I had some really great conversations with Tom Hartley about various ways he went about it to various guys which I found very fascinating."
If I can speak to someone who has played Test cricket, I might discover anything I'm unaware of because I enjoy talking about cricket. We may always draw from the vast amount of knowledge that is available in this sport.
If the intentions we've discussed come true, then I believe it will be the case for the Ashes in the future, Lyon said.
Along with Lyon, Josh Hazlewood is another veteran from the 2014-15 set and conceded Australia's new results against India was a significant gap in their history.
" Many people have not defeated India in a Test line." It's really incredible to suggest that, "he said". That's one we need to tick off, surely, in certain at home- we may very much win every series these at home.
" That last series we obviously bowled them out for 36 in Adelaide and we thought here we go ,]we are ] back at home]and ] confident on these grounds. Although some claim that we played India B in the final exam, they can often outperform the best team. We are beginning to notice that they have such incredible detail in all types.
With Australia aiming to protect their title in the WTC last at Lord's in June 2025, the five Assessments against India will also have a significant impact on Hazlewood's absence from the last of last year's final.
" It's always in the background, we have the table up]to see ] where we are sitting and what we need to tick off", he said. " For me, it's a big one because I did n't get to play the last one in England so that's a burning one for me".
The future UK T20I and ODI tour will feature Hazlewood. He is therefore looking at playing one Sheffield Shield match before the first Exam against India. Lyon, however, is earmarking up to three Shield vacations for New South Wales early in the season.
