If the 2020 outing and the meagre score of 36 are inextricably linked, the second Test of the current Border-Gavaskar Trophy series moved towards another sobering defeat.The highs gained from the Perth Test were frittered away in the City of Churches and even if Rohit Sharma hinted at keeping the faith, the teams will start level at 1-1 in the third Test at Brisbane from December 14. Perhaps, the latest bout of oscill...

The southpaw’s 140 set Australia on a pedestal in the second Test, but talk centred around Mohammed Siraj’s send-off to the batter after castling him. “I was surprised at the reaction in terms of the situation of the game and the lead up, and there was no confrontation leading up to it, and I felt like it was probably a bit far at the time, and that’s why I am disappointed in the r...

India tour of Australia: Border-Gavaskar Trophy day-night Test in Adelaide on December 7, 2024. Travis Head and bowlers put Australia on top

The faithful, who congregated at the Adelaide Oval, relished the local hero’s exploits. Travis Head, back in his city, and against a familiar rival, turned on his aggressive mode. The southpaw’s blistering hundred held Australia in good stead as the second Test swung the host’s way in Adelaide on Saturday (December 7, 2024). If Head’s 137 derailed India in the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup final at Ahmedabad, the latest 140 at his home ground, could help Australia spring back in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, in which Pat Cummins and his men trail at 0-1. At close on the second day, after Australia scored 337 in its first innings and gained a 157-run lead, India wobbled at 128 for five in the second innings and trails by 29 runs. K.L. Rahul tried to pull one down the leg-side off Cumm...

India vs Australia day-night Test in Adelaide: I had very happy memories in India, says Greg Chappell

File photo of Greg Chappell | Photo Credit: The Hindu Archives There was a flutter in the media enclosure as Greg Chappell dropped in for a while at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday (December 7, 2024). The Australian great and former India coach spoke about a range of topics with clarity and some dead-pan humour while other legends like Ricky Ponting said a quick hello to him. The elephant in the room, his days in India, was tackled too as he said: “Do I miss the chaos and drama? Not really. But I miss a lot of India. I have very happy memories of my time in India. Sure, we had some ups and downs. And you guys (pointing to the reporters), you love controversy.” Asked about his impressions about Jasprit Bum...

India tour of Australia: Border-Gavaskar Trophy second Test in Adelaide: Day-night test in Adelaide on December 6, 2024

The warm-up fixture against the Prime Minister’s XI at the Manuka Oval was touted as the ideal base ahead of the second Test in Adelaide from Friday (December 6, 2024). A two-day tussle under lights and against the pink ball was also seen as a lens to understand how players were primed for the rest of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. In the end, damp skies washed out Saturday’s play while a kind sun and floodlights at night ensured a Sunday (December 1, 2024) contest with its facade of a limited overs skirmish but one th...
