Australia’s 2019 Ashes success was due in no small part to a number of tough selection decisions.
The way Australia’s veteran four-man bowling attack tired badly in both of their last two Test series losses to India has exposed an over-reliance on the quartet.
Cheteshwar Pujara averages 99.79 in Test cricket.
It doesn’t feel like all that long ago India were rolled for 36 in Adelaide and anything less than a 4-0 series win for Australia would have looked ordinary.
During the closing overs of that fighting draw in Sydney, Tim Paine told Ravi Ashwin he couldn’t wait for him to get to the Gabba.
India have become the first side since the West Indies in 1988 to win a Test against Australia at the Gabba, a Rishabh Pant masterclass guiding them to a famous victory and retention of the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
Provided Brisbane’s rain clouds don’t intervene, the Gabba pitch should provide enough purchase for Australia to snatch back the Border-Gavaskar trophy at the 11th hour.
Cameron Green is only six innings into his Test career yet the 21-year-old all-rounder is already showing up some of his veteran teammates by putting a higher price on his wicket.

After a fervent week of cricketing controversy, Friday morning’s first ball at the Gabba is probably the tonic we all need.
Australian young gun Will Pucovski will miss tomorrow’s fourth Test against India at the Gabba after failing to overcome a shoulder injury.
The number one ranking, a spot in the World Test Championship final and the Border-Gavaskar Trophy all are on the line for Australia as they enter their most important home Test match for 17 years.
For former NSW Breakers and Sydney Thunder player Hannah Trethewy, her first opportunity to coach came when playing for her local club, Campbelltown Camden District Cricket Club (more affectionately known as Ghosts Cricket).
As far as sledging goes, Tim Paine’s display late on Day 5 was fairly feeble. It wasn’t funny or witty or clever or even notable for anything aside from the fact Paine was the sledger in question.
With the series locked at one apiece, both India and Australia bravely snuck across state borders, skilfully evading the forces of assorted state premiers in order to play at the SCG.
