Australian cricket legend Allan Border recently criticized the selectors for their “very foolish” decision to leave Travis Head out of the first Test against India.

Allan Border, who was a former Australian captain and now serves as a Fox Cricket analyst, believes that Head has improved significantly in recent times and deserved to be given a chance in the team.

The 27-year-old left-hander has been a consistent performer for South Australia and the Adelaide Strikers in recent seasons, and his absence was felt by the Australian team in the first Test.

The ongoing India vs. Australia Test series has been eagerly awaited by cricket fans around the world, as both teams have a proud history of producing high-quality cricket. The first Test in Nagpur was a closely contested affair, with India eventually winning by eight wickets. However, the match was marred by a controversial pitch that provided excessive assistance to spin bowlers, with some former cricketers and pundits accusing the Indian team of “doctoring” the surface.

Allan Border was critical of the Australian team’s tactics and approach in the first Test, stating that they overanalyzed the pitch conditions and picked the wrong team.

He felt that the Australian team was too focused on the pitch conditions in the lead-up to the Test and forgot to focus on their own game plan. This lack of focus led to the wrong team being picked, and the Australian team was unable to put up a competitive performance in the match.

Border also commented on the performance of opener David Warner, stating that he should keep his place in the team but needs to perform well in the upcoming matches. Warner has been a consistent performer for Australia in all formats of the game, but he has struggled in recent times, particularly on the subcontinent. Border believes that Warner needs to score runs in the upcoming Tests to retain his place in the team.

The India vs. Australia Test series is set to continue with the second Test in Delhi, where both teams will be looking to bounce back from their respective defeats. The Indian team will be buoyed by their performance in the first Test, while the Australian team will be eager to prove a point and level the series. It remains to be seen whether the pitch conditions in Delhi will be as spin-friendly as the Nagpur pitch, but both teams will need to be prepared for any eventuality.

In conclusion, the India vs. Australia Test series is shaping up to be an exciting and closely contested affair. With both teams possessing some of the best players in the world, cricket fans around the world will be eagerly following the action in the upcoming matches. As Allan Border has suggested, the key to success for both teams will be to focus on their own game plan and execute it to the best of their abilities.
