Australia is predicted by Pakistan Test coach Jason Gillespie to defeat India in the Border-Gavaskar series. In the next five-match Test series against India, Pakistan’s head coach for red balls, Jason Gillespie, stated on Tuesday that the Australian bowling trio of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Nathan Lyon is more than capable of defeating India.
“I’ll support them to finish the job,” Gillespie said to Fox Sports. “They are the nation’s greatest bowlers. I think their records speak for themselves. The bowling assault that Australia can field at the highest level is this quartet, he continued.
Since their 2-0 victory in 2014–15, Australia has not won the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and has lost multiple series at home. After being knocked out for 36 in Adelaide in 2020–21, India overcame a 1-0 deficit to win the series with memorable victories at the MCG and Gabba.
Gillespie remarked, “They are red-hot, they are playing some good test cricket for a while now.” “Even though they recently defeated Australia.” This time, I believe Australia has a chance to defeat India.
Regarding Steve Smith
There’s been a lot of discussion on whether Steve Smith ought to play middle-order cricket again or keep opening for Australia. According to Gillespie, Smith ought to bat fourth for Australia.
David Warner is one of those players that is difficult to replace. The thought of Steve Smith moving higher in the sequence didn’t bother me. “I feel like he could have batted at four in the middle order again,” he remarked.
Regarding coaching Pakistan
In the just finished Test series, Pakistan was upset to lose 0-2 to Bangladesh, so Gillespie’s tenure as coach wasn’t off to the best start.
“It was quite discouraging; in cricket, you want to win games.” Although we were well-prepared, a superior team simply defeated us. Without a question, we have a lot of work ahead of us,” he remarked.
“While there was widespread dissatisfaction, there was also acceptance and awareness that change is necessary. We must exercise patience. There is a strong desire for stability; perhaps we can provide it. In October, Pakistan will take on England in a three-match Test series.
