@ashwinravi99@PretoriaCapsSA True that! The last line is thought-provoking though. For a nation with such cricketing legacy, this is among the first times an Indian is a โhead coachโ overseas. Baring a few associate international sides, Indian coaches have mostly served the role of assistants so far.

@NiharP99@swaris16 Couple of things in that theory - If Aussies were to set a target they wont bat at 3 rpo. At least 4 if not 5. I think more than runs, they will look to give themselves 50 odd overs to have a go at India. That is if Marsh is fit enough to ball 12-15 overs.
@ESPNcricinfo Kudos to whoever saw the captain potential in him so early on. Leading a team of seasoned players with so few matches under his belt seemed illogical and was rightfully criticised by many. But time proved them wrong!
@bhogleharsha Oh come on, Harsha! Even if we assume his wicketkeeping is 'top class' (which it's not), history will only remember him for his batting. He's had plenty of chances and wasted them all. Time for the captain to say, โDhruv ko try karte haiโ๐
@ESPNcricinfo Unpopular opinion - Why not play all 4 of them? If 4 pacers can shine in Perth, why not field 4 spinners on our friendly tracks. One pacer in Bumrah is enough. Axar, Ashwin & Jadeja are all decent batters as well.
@joybhattacharj 'Too soft'? More like a welcome change. Pat Cummins stands out as the most distinctively un-Australian captain in recent decades, now with proven success. He's continuing what Tim Paine started, aside from that Gabba outburst.
