IND vs AUS Test series: Michael Clarke criticize Australia’s lack of preparation for India tour

Australia Test team are expected to fly to India midway through next week giving them less time for preparing themselves for the Border Gavaskar trophy. Clarke feels that the Indian conditions are extremely difficult to bat.

He said, “If you get in you need to go on and make a big score because your first 20 runs in India in second innings, whoa, a ball that you go forward to and block in Australia easily against spin, over there can roll along the ground, can bounce and take your glove. You can go to block it outside off and it bowls you leg stump, natural variation over there is massive.”

The last time the Australia Test team won a Test match in India was in 2017. Left-arm spinner Stephen O’Keefe was the star of the match for his team with 12 wickets. Speaking about bowling in Indian conditions, the cricketer cum commentator said,”You need a completely different plan to what you have playing in Australia, the way you start your innings against spin bowling, the way you play reverse swing, through the Australian summer we didn’t see any reverse swing, the games were over in two, three days.”

He added, “So reverse swing is going to play a big part (in India), all these batters that walk out and play bowlers bowling 130-140ks – there’s every chance India is going to play at least two spinners, so it’s a completely different game.”
