June’s World Test Championship showdown at the Oval provides a fascinating postscript following India’s series victory against Australia
n 2017, Australia’s Test team came home from India after four Tests with a 2-1 defeat. In 2023,. In the first series the tourists made the better of a turning pitch to win a shootout, fumbled a game that they had in their keeping, batted the last day to see out a draw, and had a loss by a substantial margin. This time around they started with a big loss, had their fumble in the second match, won the shootout in the third, and batting out the draw to finish it off.
“We had that Delhi game,” said Marnus Labuschagne with exasperation, standing at the boundary after securing the final draw. “We were the better team for two days and we cooked it up. In an hour of a bit of panic, we probably showed our inexperience in these conditions. That’s the one that really hurts. We get Axar [Patel] out there with that high ball that [Usman Khawaja] didn’t pick up, and suddenly we have a 70-run lead.
