The India tour of Australia 2024-25 has concluded with the hosts emerging victorious, securing a dominant 3-1 win in the Test series. One of the matches in the series ended in a tie, adding an extra layer of excitement to the contest. In the aftermath of the series, Cricket Australia (CA) have revealed the ratings for all five venues that hosted the matches, as assessed by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

ICC rates BGT 2024-25 venues: Sydney Cricket Ground under scrutiny

The venues that hosted the series received evaluations based on a rating system categorizing them into four distinct groups: Very Good, Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory, and Unfit. The first four venues- Optus Stadium in Perth, Adelaide Oval, The Gabba in Brisbane, and the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), all earned the highest rating of ‘Very Good’. This recognition highlights the quality of these grounds in hosting world-class cricket and providing the players with excellent playing conditions.

While the final Test of the series was held at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), the venue received a rating of ‘Satisfactory’ from the ICC. The pitch, in particular, came under heavy scrutiny from both current players and cricket analysts. The surface has faced criticism for not meeting the standards expected for a Test match, with concerns over its tendency to break up and create challenges for the batters.

Sunil Gavaskar criticizes SCG Pitch

Former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar had criticized the Sydney Cricket Ground pitch, stating it’s not ideal for a Test match as it should last into the fourth and fifth days. He had pointed out that if 15 wickets had fallen in a day in India, there would have been widespread complaints. He also mentioned Australia cricket legend Glenn McGrath‘s remark about the excessive grass on the pitch, questioning whether any former Indian cricketers had complained about it.

“This is not the ideal Test match pitch that you want because you want it to go into a fourth and fifth day. If 15 wickets fell (on one day) in India, all hell would have broken loose. We had Glenn McGrath saying he’d never seen so much grass. Did you hear any former India cricketer moan about the pitch?,” Gavaskar commented during the series.

Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith views on SCG Pitch 

Australia opener Usman Khawaja criticized the pitch, calling it “a stinker” and noting it wasn’t a typical SCG wicket. He mentioned the presence of cracks, making batting difficult. Despite the tough conditions, Australia won, but Khawaja emphasized the challenge of playing on such a wicket.

“I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t want to talk about it too much beforehand, but the wicket was a stinker. It wasn’t like a traditional SCG wicket with the new grass on it, there are cracks all over it, it’s been tough batting, the scoreboard will tell you that. Thankfully we were on the right side of the win but when it’s a wicket like that you’re always on a knife edge,” Khawaja said in the interview with ABC Radio.

Steve Smith criticized the pitch, describing it as “two-paced, up and down, seaming, and swinging,” making it incredibly difficult to bat. He also noted that he had never encountered such a wicket at the SCG before.

�?em>By a mile. It was two-paced, up and down, seaming all over the place, swinging. I’ve never played on a wicket like that at the SCG before. It was incredibly difficult to bat,” Smith said in an interaction with media.

Cricket Australia defends SCG Pitch

Meanwhile, CA have responded to criticism of the SCG pitch by defending it, highlighting that the pitch aims to showcase early pace and bounce before it deteriorates and spins. They noted that this year’s pitch was a step forward, contributing to an exciting conclusion to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and offering positive prospects for the 2025-26 Ashes series.

�?em>The SCG has been striving to bring out their unique characteristics of early pace and bounce before the pitch wears and spins. This year was a step in the right direction to achieving this, which provided an exciting finish to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series and bodes well for the Ashes summer in 2025-26,�?Cricket Australia stated.

In a dramatic turn of events during the second Test match between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval, an Indian fan found himself at the centre of attentio?n for displaying a piece of sandpaper in the stadium. This provocative act was a direct reference to the infamous ball-tampering scandal that rocked Australian cricket in 2018. The incident not only highlights the lingering resentment among fans regarding past controversies but also raises questions about the boundaries of fan behaviour in sporting events.

A flashback to the controversy of Sandpaper Gate

The use of sandpaper by Australian cricketer Cameron Bancroft during a Test match against South Africa in Cape Town was a pivotal moment in cricket history. Masterminded by then-captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner, this tactic aimed to manipulate the condition of the ball for competitive advantage. When the scandal broke, it resulted in severe repercussions: Bancroft received a ni?ne-month ban, while Smith and Warner were banned for a year each. The fallout from this incident has continued to haunt Australian cricket, with fans frequently referencing it during matches, particularly against teams like India that have a storied ri??valry with Australia.

Australian security drags out the Indian fan

During the recent Test match, video footage circulated on social media showing the fan being forcibly removed from the stadium by security personnel. He was seen arguing with officia?ls, a scene that underscored his determination to make a statement about the past misdeeds of Australian players. This incident sparked mixed reactions among spectators and commentators alike. While some viewed it as an inappropriate disruption of the game, others saw it as a legitimate expression of frustration over perceived injustices in cricket.

The aftermath of the incident

The Australian media quickly picked up on this incident, framing it within the larger narrative of Australia’s recent struggles against India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. Following their ten-wicket loss in Adelaide, Australian players faced intense scrutiny from both fans and media, which only intensified after this incident. In light of these events, Indian captain Rohit Sharma commented on the need for fans to respect players’ spaces, especially during practice sessions where they had previously encountered rude remarks from spectators.

The chaotic atmosphere surrounding India’s practice sessions has led to a ban on fan attendance at these events for the remainder of the tour. Rohit emphasized that these sessions are crucial for strategy discussions and should remain private. This decision reflects an increasing concern about player welfare amidst escalating tensions between teams and their supporters.

India are facing a critical decision regarding the selection of fast bowler Harshit Rana for the upcoming third Test against Australia in Brisbane, following his disappointing performance in the second Test at Adelaide. The young pacer, who made his international debut earlier in the series, has come under scrutiny after going wicketless and conceding 86 runs in 16 ??overs, failing to build on the pressure established by his teammates.

Performance under fire

In the second Test, Rana was unable to contain the Australian batters, particularly Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head, who capitalized on his erratic bowling. His inability to maintain line and length allowed Australia to quickly surpass India’s first innings total of 180, leading to widespread criticism from fans and former players alike. Many are now questioning whether Rana should be dropped for the crucial third Test in Brisbane.

Former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has publicly called for Rana’s exclusion, suggesting that Prasidh Krishna, who has been warming the bench, should take his place. Talking to Star Sports, Harbhajan staid, “You have Prasidh Krishna sitting on the bench and he should get a chance in the third Test. He is a good bowler and can replace Harshit.” This sentiment reflects a growing impatience among fans and analysts who feel that Rana’s performance was not up to the mark in the pink-ball Test.

Support from captain

Despite the criticism, Indian captain Rohit Sharma defended Rana, emphasizing the importance of backing young players.“It is not right to drop players after just two games… The Aussie batters took advantage of his inexperience in the second game,” Rohit remarked in the post-match interview. His comments highlight a broader philosophy within t?he team management to provide support and patience to emer??ging talents.

The debate continues

The debate over Rana’s inclusion has sparked discussions about player development and the expectations placed on young cricketers. While some argue that dropping him after one poor outing could be detrimental to his confidence, others believe that performance in such a competitive environment must be met with accountability.

As India prepares for the third Test, scheduled to begin on December 10, selectors will need to weigh Rana’s potential against his recent form. The decision will not only impact the team’s strategy but also set a precedent for how young players are treated following setbacks in their careers. With both sides of the argument gaining traction, cricket fans eagerly await the final decision regarding India’s lineup for this pivotal match.

Indian cricketing icon Kapil Dev has thrown his support behind under-fire skipper Rohit Sharma, following India’s 10-wicket loss to Australia in the second Test at Adelaide Oval. Speaking at the launch of the Vishwa Samudra Open golf championship, Kapil addressed concerns over Rohit’s leadership and form.

Kapil Dev calls for patience with Rohit Sharma

Kapil, known for his candid opinions, urged patience from fans and critics alike, emphasizing that judging a captain on the basis of one or two poor performances is unjust. “Rohit doesn’t need to prove himself—he has done it consistently for many years,” Kapil said. “Let’s not doubt someone’s capabilities so quickly. His talent and ability are well-known, and I’m confident he will regain his form.”

Reflecting on recent success and future challenges

The 1983 World Cup-winning captain highlighted Rohit’s recent successes, reminding critics of India’s T20 World Cup triumph earlier this year under his leadership. “Six months ago, when he led India to the T20 World Cup title, nobody questioned his captaincy. If his form continues to dip, decisions will naturally follow, but for now, let’s trust his abilities and give him the time to bounce back,” Kapil added.

Rohit, who returned for the Adelaide Test after missing the first match in Perth due to the birth of his second child, str??uggled for runs and scored just 3 and 6 after moving down the batting order.

India, captained by Jasprit Bumrah in Rohit’s absence, registered a commanding 295-run victory in the opening Test at Perth.

As the Indian team prepares for the third Test at The Gabba, beginning on December 14, Kapil’s remarks reflect a firm belief in Rohit’s resilience and capability to overcome setbacks. Whether Rohit can rediscover his form and lead India to success in the remainder of the series remains to be seen, but for now, the legendary all-rounder has sent a strong message of support.

On Day 2 of the second Test between Australia and India at Adelaide, Australia’s right-arm pacer Scott Boland displayed his knack for making an instant impact. In the ninth over of India’s second innings, Boland dismissed India’s opener Yashasvi Jaiswal with a first-ball gem.

Scott Boland’s first-ball magic removes Yashasvi Jaiswal

Boland, known for his impeccable accuracy, delivered a short-length delivery that angled away beautifully, curving from the middle to the fourth stump line. Jaiswal, attempting to defend, edged the ball to wicketkeeper Alex Carey. This marked a signif?icant breakthrough for Australia as they tightened their grip on the match.

Boland celebrated exuberantly, punching the air in front of Jaiswal before running to Carey to celebrate. The dismissal, reminiscent of his near-wicket in the first innings (nullified due to a no-ball), showcased Boland’s ability to exploit conditions perfectly. Jaiswal, who managed just 24 runs off 31 balls, hitting four boundaries, failed to deliver in both innings of the game after a stellar performance in the previous Test.

BOLAND!

Despite his brilliant century in the first Test at Perth, Jaiswal had a forgettable outing in Adelaide, even in India’s first innings, he was dismissed for a golden duck by Australian speedster Mitchell Starc. Starc’s lethal delivery at 140.4 kph pitched on leg stump, swung away late, and trapped ?Jaiswal lbw as he missed an attempted flick. Falling to Starc’s first? ball in the first innings and Boland’s first ball in the second innings marked a disappointing contrast to his earlier form.

However, the drama didn’t end there. As Head walked back, Siraj gave him an intense send-off, standing close and exchanging words. Head, visibly annoyed, responded in kind, reportedly dropping an “F” bomb during the heated exchange.
