 Playing well against Ashwin-Jadeja will put us in a better position: Maxwell

 

New Delhi, Sep 27 : Ahead of the home Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) later this year, Australia all-rounder Glenn Maxwell believes that playing well against the Indian spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja will be key for them.

The ace bowlers have emerged as one of the best spin-bowling pair in recent times. In the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai, Ashwin and Jadeja shared 13 scalps between them across two innings to guide India to a dominating 280-run win. For the five-Test series in Australia, the duo's performance will make a huge impact on India's chances of retaining the series for the third consecutive time Down Under.

"I think that over a long period, having played against guys like Ashwin and Jadeja, those two seem to have always been the ones we've faced consistently, and the battles we've had with them have often dictated the outcome of the game. So if we play well against those two, we'll generally find ourselves in a better position compared to when they've had a field day and run through us. Those two guys have been there for most of my career, being of a similar age," Maxwell said on Star Sports.

The Australian all-rounder further lauded India's premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah's periodic rise as the leading pacer in the world after first facing him in Mumbai Indians nets during IPL 2013.

"And probably more recently, Jasprit Bumrah. I was there in his first year of the IPL in 2013 at Mumbai and pretty much faced him every day in the nets. To see him evolve from a young, untapped talent to what he is now—the probably best bowler across all three formats—is a pretty amazing story," he added.

The upcoming five-match Test series will see India and Australia play in Perth, Adelaide (pink-ball match), Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney from November 22 to January 7, 2025.

India were able to retain the title in the last four successive BGT (home and away), which includes their famous series wins in 2018-19 and 2020-21.

[Lone Wolf]

Big 3 quicks are fit but their backups seems questionable as of now.

As I said in the other thread there's nothing to discuss. We have to win 3 test matches this time and pour misery on the aussies.

They scheduled it very differently this time. We typically do well in MCG and Sydney and they are the last two games. Series might as well be lost by the time we reach Melbourne

Naah.

 

I have faith in this team. If we go with out full strength team with key players bumrah, pant, ashwin , jaddu and Rohit's captaincy we can win the test series again.

 

We should win atleast 2 tests, imo. I'm just concerned about Kohli and kela in the team though.

[Tillu]

I have more confidence in Kohli scoring lot of runs in Australia than in India.

[test fan]

Rohit is very bad test captain so not sure about this time .

No Pitch will be created to Support ASHWIN and Jaddu ( SPIN). All pitches will be Pace and Bounce friendly as JOSH/Pattrick cummins/STARC and ONE more Pacer will be playing against us. I doubt if even  Spinner will be played , may be maxwell could be asked to bowl SPIN.

I mean to say AUSSIE will create Pitches that will give NO assistance to SPINNERS.

Did you see their series vs. Pak? If serial droppers didn't drop those dollies, Pak had a 50/50 chance to draw or even win the series! Oz batting has gone down from its peak about 4-5 years ago. Their bowling also doesn't look that great, IMO. Man to man, I'd give India the edge, and so along as we take all our chances, we should win!

I have gut feeling Kohli will be Man of the series vs Australia and will score 3 centuries in that series.

Virat is like chanakya he is saving his best against Australia that's why he will not play well against newzealand in test series too i.e he wants to keep Australia in illusion of being out of form

pujara essential

[cowboysfan]

Shami has  swelling in both knees,out atleast 2 months and most likely will miss most of BGT.

[Stan AF]

Suttham

[nitinbwj]

So Akashdeep,Bumrah and Siraj it is. Shami out !

[Lone Wolf]

Shami is cooked...  Legendary return of Mukki Koomar imminent

Australia isn't ready for Kankar Kund's McGrath 

[deepdynamo]

Shami injury is a bummer. 

 

Dude has full 9 months to get fit but still messed it up.

Now, his best chance is to be fit by CT 2025. A fit & firing Shami is needed there.

[Nikhil_cric]

Shami is done. How long will fans want to flog the oldies? At some point you have to look for and groom replacements.
