The last time Team India toured Australia, it won the series by defeating the Kangaroos at Gabba. At present the Border Gavaskar Trophy is tied at 1-1 and the third Test is to be played at Gabba. Former Australian opener Matthew Hayden has advised the Indian bowlers to target the fourth and fifth stump lines and take advantage of the bounce provided by the Gabba pitch in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting here on Saturday.
The five-match series is level at 1-1 after Australia’s impressive win in the Pink Test in Adelaide. India won the first Test in Perth by 295 runs. Hayden shared his thoughts on how to dismiss the Australian batsman at the Gabba. He said that whenever India gets a chance to bowl, they should rely a little more on the fourth and fifth stump lines. Most importantly, they need to utilize the bounce.
Hayden said that this is an important thing for the fast bowling unit in Brisbane. The red ball is certainly more familiar in Test match cricket. Australia has the skill to play with the pink ball, they have won many matches with it. The 53-year-old right-handed batsman asked the Indian batsmen to play carefully in challenging conditions.
He said that India should bat better, they should take time to bat. He should bat one day in test match cricket. Less than one day is not acceptable. India should bat first even in challenging conditions. It is noteworthy that India had won in Perth, but Australia came back and won in the Adelaide Day-Night Test.
