Australia will start their tour of India with the primary Test set to start on February 9. Before the sequence has even started, the 2 sides have been buying and selling digs at one another on the state of Indian pitches.
“The last time we went I’m pretty sure we got served up a green-top (to practice on) and it was sort of irrelevant. We’re better off having our own nets and getting spinners in and bowling as much as they can. We’ll wait and see when we hit the ground. I think we’ve made the right decision to not play a tour match,” Australia’s Steve Smith had mentioned when requested why the Australian group weren’t opting to play heat up matches earlier than the first Test.
To this veteran spinner Ravichandran Ashwin replied on his YouTube channel, saying, “Australia are not playing any tour matches this time. This is not new. Even India avoids tour games when they go on a few overseas tours. Since Team India’s schedule is packed with international games, it is not possible to turn up for practice games with the same intensity.”
“Smith said, ‘We got a green wicket in Brabourne and a completely opposite one in the first Test (during the 2017 series). In all fairness, it was a rank-turner in Pune. We might have given them a green track, but nobody plans all these things. However, Australia are known for its mind games and sledges before a series. They love doing that. It’s their style of cricket,” Ashwin added.
