Circumstances are not foreign to India
In the press conference, the Australian captain was asked whether they have home advantage and whether it is over-rated, because they had to face the Indian team in Perth. To this Pat replied, “It is a little difficult to understand. But, we know that we have played a lot of cricket in many formats in India. I feel that when India comes here, even if there are no Test matches, there is some ODI (or T20) series here every year. So, these situations no longer seem as foreign as they used to be.”
I don’t get the same benefits at home as before.
Talking further on this, the captain said, “I feel that today’s players are quite adaptable. You have to learn to play around the world, and you quickly adapt to the circumstances. I can’t say about years ago, but it seems that the home ground advantage is there, but not as big as it used to be.”
