Only surprise is that anyone can compete with India at all

The biggest mistake was playing the same four bowlers in every Test. For pacemen, playing four Tests in five weeks is akin to running four marathons in as many weeks. There were signs in Sydney that Mitchell Starc, in particular, was jaded.

Australia were comprehensively outplayed by a so-called inexperienced team. If only people knew what these young men have been through to get selected for India, they might be a lot more generous towards our players. Shubman Gill had already amassed a wealth of red-ball experience before graduating to India's Test side.Shubman Gill represented Punjab in the three-day U16 interstate competition. At that age, only red-ball cricket is played because it is recognised that, to develop top-class batsmen, players need time to build a solid technical base.

Dravid, who is the director of the National Cricket Academy based in Bangalore, devises a program of tours for India A which mirrors tours that India have coming up, or are on, to maximise the learning opportunities for the next generation of players. By Indian standards, Cameron Green is still in primary school when it comes to his level of experience.To emphasise the point, Mohammed Siraj has taken 70 wickets in 16 games for India A, while Pucovski and Green have hardly played an Australia A fixture. The BCCI is investing millions of dollars in budding Indian cricketers. Cricket Australia, by comparison, spends $44m dollars on the Sheffield Shield. The comparative spending gap isn’t a gulf; it is the size of the Indian Ocean.

Because of their wider range of experiences in myriad conditions, against opposition that is equally well schooled, Indian youth teams are very good at setting targets, chasing targets, setting good fields and bowling to team plans. This is not evident in most teams at young age groups. The comparison with Anglo teams, where academic opportunities are prioritised over cricket, is there for all to see.

No one have stopped Australia from producing more children or having more Cricketers, Engineers & Doctors than India.😅 India never made any excuses when they lost 4-0 in Australia in 2011. Have you heard Dhoni saying 'its hard to keep 2 days & then bat' in 2011?

Ranji trophy is still ace. 38 teams in two divisions, it's unique for domestic cricket. Now we're relying more on 4 pacers, lone spinner. Rest is cricket you win some, lose some. IPL exposed the myth of unbeatable players. Fear is gone. Home and away. 36 had to be avenged!

Australia is not very good at the moment. Their world ranking reflects their ability. The top and middle order batting lacks skill, perseverance and maturity. The bowling is prone to repetition and the wicket keeping is woeful.

Siraj had the ball talking on day 4. Perhaps our bowlers aren’t as good as we think? Why do we always blame the pitch.

Colour ? You mean the pitch was racist and worked against the Aussies? ,,😃

The article exaggerated many things for Indian system. Australian cricket is great and respected around the world and other teams try to reciprocate the Australian system. Merely one series loss is not the end of the world.

Here's the email where deMaio begged for a new agency agreement - begged, like a dog - and my reply telling her to f..k off

I think that if the Australia team weren’t such aggressive, unsporting wannabe bullies people might worry about the future dominance of India. But as it is, I’m glad India took them into the back paddock and kicked the snot out of them. CricketAus india cricket

Lawyers prepare to challenge legality of 'un-Australian' India travel banAssistant Multicultural Affairs Minister Jason Wood says most Australians support the federal government's controversial India travel ban, as lawyers prepare to challenge its legality in court. 'voters have been largely supportive of hard-line border policies'. Here's an exercise, name one human rights abuse against a minority group that doesn't have widespread public support. By the time this gets to court and a ruling is made. The government would have lifted the ban. I would like to see the whole travel ban challenged. It wont stand up Yes, there should be better quarantine facilities. No, people should not have been granted exemptions to attend weddings and funerals. Yes, it’s generally wrong to block citizens from returning home. But the immediate threat is the surge in Covid cases and variants.
