After Ian Healy’s controversial assertion relating to the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has stated that the sequence wants “this spark”. Healy had stated that if India provide ‘truthful pitch’ in which there’s constant spin, with out the ball “jumping ridiculously and sliding down low from day one”, then Australian will find yourself on the profitable aspect. The ex-Australia wicketkeeper-batter added that if ‘unfair pitch’ is obtainable then India would play higher than the visiting crew in these situations.
Commenting on the identical Ashwin, on his YouTube channel stated: “Anyway, an Australian broadcaster and former player Ian Healy has given a few gems before the BGT (Border Gavaskar Trophy). He has given a few statements that say ‘India will make sure the Australians feel uncomfortable in India. I don’t believe that they will give us wickets that will look even slightly closer to what we will actually get during a game’. So he has said that Australia’s approach is only correct. The support staff might have given their opinion, but Ian Healy’s quote has set a spark with this take. It’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy guys. So we need this spark, right? (The) banters will keep coming from the Australian camp for sure. We saw what Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja had to say. Even Marnus Labuschagne and Matt Renshaw have said some controversial things.”
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy — Test sequence between India and Australia — is all set to kick off on February 9 with the primary match going down on the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium, Nagpur. Wary of the spin menace towards India, the visitors are getting ready themselves in the absolute best option to sort out the problem. The Australian crew is practising on worn pitches — surfaces which might be anticipated to be supplied to them in the course of the four-match Test sequence towards India.
Meanwhile, Australian batters have been working towards towards Ravichandran Ashwin’s “duplicate” Mahesh Pithiya, flying him to Bengaluru by the touring crew as a internet bowler to negate the specter of the India off-spinner.
