Cracks in the walls of Australian cricket: Test defeat caused a ruckus.

Delhi: However, not those who believe that by winning the Lord’s Test, South Africa really became the ‘world champion’ nor did the defeat of this Lord’s Test ‘finish’ Australia cricket, but the truth cannot be denied that this defeat has raised such questions in front of Australia cricket, which were not thinking about.

New championship round starts from 25 June

Now, they have come in the mode of ‘fast action’ and changes are seen. The biggest question is how the old pride will return? Australia does not have much time to discuss any action as their West Indies Tour starts from June 25, which will be their first series in the new round of the championship. Even then the team has worried more than the match in Caribbean.

Since a change in top order

Chief coach McDonald has even indicated a change in the top order. Most special name Marnas labushen Of. Even before the high-stake final, he was in discussion, gave another chance, promoted between bad forms in batting, but who will comfort his score of 17 and 22? How can the Australian team think of playing regularly in the Australia team, which records an average of 27.82 in the entire 2023-25 ​​championship round? Even then, luck will once again support him and if Steve Smith did not fit the finger on the third day of the final, Labushen will get a lifeline.

Sword hanging on Khwaja

In this way, the sword is hanging on experienced opener Usman Khwaja. Rabada dismissed him both times at Lord’s. Even though Khwaja made the top score of 232 against Sri Lanka, three Tests earlier this year, his weakness against better fast bowling on Lord’s pitch came out openly.

Place in the Ashes in the circle of questions

Today, he has the same condition as David Warner. The place in the Ashes to be held later this year is under question. That is why Travis Head is considered a wild card option for opening in the West Indies.

The condition is that in batting, his top 3 (Usman Khwaja, Marnas Labushen and Cameron Green) together scored just 49 runs out of 419 runs in Australia’s two innings at Lord’s. Cummins are still voting for these three.

At the last stage of career

Everyone believes that these old players are at the last stop of their career but still not giving the young player a chance, who have played more than 60 Test matches. This happened for the 15th time in Australia’s Test history when the top 3 scored less than 50 runs in 6 innings.

Selector in bowling too

Similarly, in bowling, selector, not ready to remove them in a hurry, who have been with the team for years. Bowling Quartet, 2023-25 ​​is among the top 6 bowlers in the World Test Championship Round. Cummins (80 wickets, number 1 in the list), Stark (77 wickets, number 2 in the list and Bumrah), Leon (66 wickets, number 3 in the list) and Hazelwood (59 wickets, number 5 in the list) and their names of 1522 Test wickets.

Anyone will call it one of the greatest and best attacks of Test cricket without any problem, but it is also true that 3 of these will probably play the last Ashes before retirement.

The best team started to break

So by the next year, Australia is seen playing with a very less inexperienced and new team, so it will not be surprising. This will be the same situation as 2006-07. Even then a great team started to break.

In 2018-19, when Warner and Smith were banned, players like Head, Marnas, Harris and Patterson made their debut. Harris, Bancroft or Patterson are ready for chance. If there is a change soon, it is possible that the graph of the team goes down for some time, but the situation is very different.

Warner is selfish like

Usman will be 38 years, Lyon 37 years, Smith 36 years, Stark 35 years and Jose 34 years and Carrie will also be 34 years. What is left if you include out of farm marnas with them?

How many of these are selfish like Warner who will remain standing, but such a situation has always shown that new blood and new energy are benefited. Therefore, a new line up of young fast bowlers and batsmen is needed who create opportunities for the next generation in the country.
