Adam Gilchrist Advices Australian Team: Before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the players of the Australian team were continuously claiming their victory. However, Team India easily won the first Test played in Perth. Now former Australian wicketkeeper batsman Adam Gilchrist has given advice to his team.
Adam Gilchrist has advised the Australian batsmen struggling to score runs to stay at the crease for longer time to reduce the threat of the Indian bowling attack in the second Test to be played with pink ball in Adelaide. He has also supported the retention of Marnus Labuschagne, who is struggling with poor form, in the team.
Australia’s key batsmen, including Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne, did not play in the first Test, which India won by 295 runs. The second Test between the two teams will be day-night, which will be played in Adelaide from Friday, December 6.
Adam Gilchrist in the Australian media said, “Marnus had a responsibility to do that (stay at the crease) and he did a good job facing more than 50 balls. If you face more than 50 balls in a Test innings, you They are moving in the right direction. They just haven’t been able to find a way to score runs and probably all the Australian players would like to try this collectively. This will create risk, but only by taking risks can you succeed.”
Labuschagne has been struggling to score runs for some time now, but Gilchrist has supported keeping him in the team. He said, “He needs to be reminded that he is a very skilled batsman. I am sure people around him are already doing that. He has to trust his practice.”
