BENGALURU : Australia pace man Mitchell Starc said he still feels some discomfort in his finger after snapping a tendon in a fielding mishap in December but he expects to return to the side for the third test against India beginning on Wednesday at Indore.
Former Australia captain Mark Taylor has urged selectors to take a call on under-fire opener David Warner's future in Test cricket before the Ashes later this year. Warner has been undergoing a prolonged lean patch in the longest format of the game. He had scores of 1, 10 and 15 in the opening two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy before being ruled out of the remaining two matches due to a concussion and elbow fracture.
Australia's Peter Handscomb believes the absence of captain Pat Cummins and batter David Warner will make life tougher when they face India in the third test starting in Indore on Wednesday but the return of Cameron Green and Mitchell Starc was "exciting".
Australian cricket team opener David Warner shared a hilarious tribute to well-known Tamil filmmaker S Shankar's movie ‘I' and even called it “one of his favourites”. The star batsman, who routinely shared dance movies and tributes to Tamil and Telugu films, morphed his face on the actor Vikram's face in the movie scenes and posted the video on Instagram. “One of my favourites. name the movie???” – The caption read along with the video which has already gone viral among the fans.
Travis Head has backed himself to keep being aggressive against the Indian spinners in the third Test beginning in Indore on March 1. Members of the Australian team stayed back in the capital following the loss at the Kotla on day three of the second Test on Sunday. With David Warner back home due to an elbow fracture, Head will open alongside Usman Khawaja in Indore. The southpaw was dropped for the first Test in Nagpur.
BENGALURU : Australian middle-order batsman Travis Head said being dropped for the opening test in India came as a surprise after "robust" conversations with the selectors, and he was ready to play anywhere in the line-up after being recalled.
Former Indian cricket team opener Krishnamachari Srikkanth took a jibe at Australia with the visitors trailing 0-2 in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India won the first two matches of the series comprehensively and with Australia missing the services of experienced campaigners like Pat Cummins, David Warner and Josh Hazlewood due to various reasons, it is expected to get tougher for Steve Smith and Co. Srikkanth jokingly urged the visitors to “do something” and warned that if they are unable to turn their campaign around, they can end up becoming a laughing stock.
Australia all-rounder Cameron Green has declared himself "100 per cent" fit to play the third Test against India, starting from March 1 at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. Green's anticipated return from a serious finger injury that has seen him miss the first two Test will be a huge boost for Australia, especially when the likes of Pat Cummins, David Warner and Josh Hazlewood have been ruled out of the third Test due to various reasons. While Cummins declared himself unavailable earlier on Friday, Warner and Hazlewood have been sent back home due to injury setbacks.
