Sourav Ganguly on Australia’s strength on Day 1 of the WTC last- Sourav Ganguly figures India also could have been in areas of strength for an at Stump’s on Day 1 of the World Test Title last had Pat Cummins won the throw and requested that they bat first.
The choice appears to have misfired as Australia finished the day at 327/3 and looks all set to post a mammoth first-innings complete.
While inspecting the main day’s play on Star Sports, Ganguly found out if Australia would have been really glad with the manner in which Day 1 unfurled, to which he answered:
“Totally, assuming you see when Pat Cummins won the throw, he likewise said that he would have bowled first. On the off chance that Pat Cummins had won the throw, India could have been in this present circumstance. It has not occurred interestingly that a group scored 300 pursues losing two wickets in the main meeting.”
Head smoked an unbeaten 146 off 156 conveyances, a thump studded with 22 fours and a six. Then again, Smith scored a somewhat quiet unbeaten 95 off 227 balls with the assistance of 14 fours.
While recognizing that the Indian bowlers made Head’s occupation simpler,
Sourav Ganguly credited the pair for rescuing their side of a marginally inconvenient circumstance:
“We can say that India didn’t bowl well, which is somewhat obvious also, you can say
that you permitted Travis Head to score runs effectively toward the beginning when he came to
the center after Australia had lost three wickets for 76 runs, yet you would need to give them the credit.”
India appeared to have acquired a slight high ground when Mohammad Shami fortified Marnus Labuschagne with
his most memorable chunk of the second meeting to decrease Australia to 76/3.
Be that as it may, it ended up being a bogus first light as
they neglected to get a wicket until the end of the day.
