Australia these days is one of the few places where attacking a higher percentage of deliveries actually works.   The pitches are usually very true to help that happen. The challenge would ofcourse be the steeper bounce.

 

However, Pant has shown restrain to some extent in England.  Did not go hammer and tongs.   So, he should be able to do it again.

Pant has the added advantage that  he is a left hander.  His ultimate test would be not the conditions , but the Aussie aggressive ness in general. Not only the players, but the media and spectators as well be ready to counter  the entire Indian team.

One thing that worries me about him is that in Australia he has to show great restraint as he cannot attack each and every delivery for a four or a six hope he plays according to the situation.

Actually that was true in England. In OZ the ball will move very little laterally. Anything short or overpitched or wide can be and should be punished. Hopefully, Rahul finds some form by then. Him,Kohli,Shaw and Pant will have to score big and fast. You have to be relentless in Australia with the bat and ,if possible, ball to win anything.

Your previous team was better as well. This Aus batting is worse and I say that as an Indian cricket fan who will likely see our team struggle against them next month onwards.

3rd nervous 90s of match for Pak

Babar 99, bad luck, missed his first ton

seen a lot of messages in padosi passion site   mocking Sachin w.r.t how selfish  he was in slowing down when approaching a 100  and so on. Now I think they realize as to how pressure of expectations can do its dirty trick on a batsman even if he wishes to play normally while approaching a 100. Poor Babar couldn't handle the pressure  of expectations of  even getting to his first 100. That being the case , these posters should  realize as to how difficult it was for Sachin to control his mental composure during those moments   having destined to cope with the pressure  of expectations of several  folds
