BGT: Australia's Brittle Batting Line-up Means India Have Their Nose Ahead, Says Shastri
Boxing Day Test: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri believes Australia having a “brittle” batting line-up means India have its nose ahead in the run-up to the Boxing Day Test, starting at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Thursday.
The five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series is currently tied at 1-1. “I think it’s been pretty brittle. When you look at this Australian line-up, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen an Australian line-up where the top order is that brittle. India have exploited that and continues to exploit it.
“I think it’s going to be a cracking game. I think India would take this, the way the series is poised. Any overseas team being 1-1, especially with the games being in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane, they would take this. Going 1-1 into Boxing Day is the best case scenario. I would say India have their nose ahead,” said Shastri to news.com.au.
