IND vs AUS T20Is: Australia coach wants batting style to be tested against India | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has said the upcoming T20 series against India will offer a good test as to whether their aggressive batting style can bring success. Since the last T20 World Cup in 2024, Australia have embraced an attacking approach with the bat which has seen them score at 10.07 runs per over, with all their batsmen having an improved strike-rate during the period. While they have beaten the likes of England, Pakistan, West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand, the series against India beginning on Wednesday will offer a stiff challenge. With India having the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav – three X-factor bowlers in the sidfe – there is huge anticipation as to how the Australian batting unit will come up against this bowling line-up.

Mitchell Marsh was not a medal recipient at the 2025 Australian Cricket Awards but the 33-year-old Aussie walked away after delivering some cracking one-liners on Monday night and shed some light on his Jasprit Bumrah’ed summer. Marsh, last year’s Allan Border medallist, had a horrendous Border-Gavaskar Trophy campaign at home against India before being dropped for the final Test of the series earlier this month in Sydney. Marsh’s humour, however, remains intact. When asked about his 2024 season at the awards, a cheeky Marsh replied: “It’s been incredible, really … capped off by the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and the way the boys played especially with 10 players, without me. They did really well.” Story continues below this ad After a summer of facing Bumrah’s searing spells, Marsh admitted he missed out on a relatively subtler tour to Sri Lanka. “Yeah look, if there’s one wicket I needed, it was probably that Galle wicket.” “The nightmare continued” Mitch Marsh on fire again at the #AusCricketAwards 😂 pic.twitter.com/KPBNSS1Urs — cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) February 3, 2025 But the show-stopper was …

Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Injured Mitchell Starc skips nets, Mitch Marsh’s spot for Sydney Test under scanner | Cricket News

Heading into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy finale on Friday, Australia are contemplating changes to the Melbourne Test-winning team with the spots of Mitch Marsh — enduring poor form — and, crucially, Mitchell Starc — nursing an injury — under scrutiny. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Australia head coach Andrew McDonald conceded that Marsh ‘hasn’t been scoring as many runs as selectors would like against India’ and Beau Webster, who is in the squad, could be given a look-in. The report also added that McDonald was confident that ‘Sean Abbott or Jhye Richardson could step up if Mitchell Starc was to be ruled out of the SCG Test due to injury.’ After beating India in Melbourne to go 2-1 up in the series, Australia reached Sydney on Tuesday and had a training session on Wednesday, where Starc did not bowl in the nets. The pacer, however, said he ‘expected to play on Friday’. The report quoted a team spokesperson saying that the injury ‘is more a case of general soreness that tended to get better the …

‘Anytime I walk out to bat, I’m s****ing myself’: Mitch Marsh on improving mental strength to revive Test career | Cricket News

Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh’s brutal initiation to Test cricket and a first half of a career bogged down by expectations to perform ended with a ruthless snub in 2019. For nearly five years since debut in 2014, Marsh’s red-ball career hinged on potential over consistency, with two Test hundreds in the 2017/18 Ashes even elevating him to the vice-captain’s role ahead of the ball-tampering marred series 2018 series in South Africa. Marsh lasted for three more games and was dropped from the side during the 2019 Ashes in England. While Mitch’s elder brother Shaun and father Rod Marsh had relatively successful Test careers, Mitch admitted that being booed by the local crowd during the 2018 Boxing Test against India at MCG marked the nadir of his career. “The truthful answer is I’m human, and anytime I walk out to bat, I’m s****ing myself like any other bloke,” Marsh told Fox Cricket. Marsh’s dramatic return to the XI occurred four years later, again in the 2023 Ashes in England, as a like-for-like replacement for Cam Green. …

Amidst their tight schedule preparing for the ongoing Pakistan series and the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy against India, Australian cricketers took a break and took part in a fun challenge where they tried to match a cricket term in English to their Hindi and Urdu counterparts. Unsurprisingly, batter Usman Khawaja got the terms all correct due to his fluency in both the languages while Pat Cummins, Glenn Maxwell, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Marsh recalled their times in the Indian Premier League where they encountered these terms, ultimately getting most of them right. Meanwhile, on the work front, the Aussies after losing the ODI series against Pakistan will now take on the Men in Green for the first of a 3-match T20I series on Thursday. The second and third matches are on Saturday and Monday at Sydney and Hobart respectively. Wicket-keeper Josh Inglis will be the stand-in captain for Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh in T20 series against Pakistan. Inglis was promoted as skipper ahead of senior players including Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa, and Marcus Stoinis. …
