Old rivalry.
- A test rivalry high on epic contests and stirring comebacks gets its latest edition as India and Australia face off in the first Test at Nagpur from Thursday.
- The Ashes and games involving India and Pakistan have their share of history and hype and within that ecosystem, India and Australia have fashioned a unique fabric that has shimmered bright ever since V.V.S.Laxman, Rahul Dravid and Harbhajan Singh dished out magic at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens in 2001.
- There should be riveting fare during this four-Test series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, a silverware upon which India has had a better hold especially during the last decade, be it at home or away.
- The usual surround-sound may have been muted and only now have whispers started about spin-friendly pitches.
- While that surface tension lingers, Usman Khawaja’s delayed departure to India over a visa issue does not reflect well on bureaucratic red tape that perhaps got triggered since the Australian’s roots are in Pakistan.
- Pat Cummins and his men have trained away from the flashbulbs, preferring to be holed up at the Alur ground on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
- On abrasive pitches against their own spinners and local talent, Steve Smith and company have witnessed their skill sets against the slow art.
- As the Test caravan moves across Nagpur, Delhi, Dharamshala and Ahmedabad, a lot more is at stake in this bilateral skirmish.
- The ICC Test Championship is heading towards its business end with the final scheduled at London’s Oval from June 7 to 11.
- June may seem far, but, for the Test cycle, there is not much time left as April and May are linked to the Indian Premier League T20 tournament.
- Australia with 75.56 percentage points lead the table ahead of India (58.93), Sri Lanka (53.33) and South Africa (48.72).
- With one foot in the final, Australia will sail through even with one draw and three losses against India.
- However, a 0-4 drubbing from India in tandem with Sri Lanka defeating New Zealand twice, would mean that Cummins and gang will miss the final.
