Australia cricket team
A four-match test series will be played between India and Australia in the month of February. This series is very important for both teams. There is a competition between the two teams to reach the WTC final in this series. After two Test series victories against South Africa, the Australian team will almost certainly play in the WTC final, but in cricket, the equation can go haywire at any moment. The Australian team would like to do well against India. At this time Australia has to play the third and final game against South Africa. This match is also important from India’s point of view. Even before the start of this match, former veteran players of the team have begun to give their opinion. Meanwhile, former Australian captain Mark Taylor has given a suggestion to the Kangaroo team.
what did taylor say
Mark Taylor wants the Pat Cummins-led side to explore the option of playing five bowlers in the third and final Test against South Africa which starts here on Wednesday ahead of the India tour. Four Tests will be played in February-March at the Border Gavaskar Trophy on tour of India. The hosts have an unquestioned 2-0 lead in the series against South Africa before the final test in Sydney. Because of which they may get a chance to try some other option.
Taylor told Wide World of Sports that he “has a chance to try a few things in Sydney.” I know people say you shouldn’t try new things in test matches but with Cameron Green not playing I’d really like to see Alex Carey bat at number six and Australia should go with five bowlers. “He said: ‘They can dominate on the ball and rely on their top five batsmen and Carey has also scored enough runs to win Test matches.’
Australia have included Matthew Renshaw and Ashton Agar in the squad due to injuries to Mitchell Starc and Green during the big win in Melbourne. Taylor said: “I think with the bowling options they have, whatever fast bowlers they play, you should have enough bowlers to take 20 wickets. South Africa scored just 200 runs in the last innings in Melbourne, so their batting is weak at the moment. “He said, ‘So I’d like you to attack with the ball and then get a lot of runs with the help of the top five hitters.'” Australia is currently at the top of the World Test Championship table. The Australian team will arrive in India right after this series.
