India vs Australia – Team India gets reality check with Perth pitch warning: ‘It could be scary…’

australian batsman travis head gave his thoughts on the pitch at Perth’s Optus Stadium, the venue for the first Test against Australia starting on Friday. Heavy rain fell in Perth before the game, disrupting pitch preparation. However, Optus Stadium’s chief curator revealed that the pacer had bounced around with extra pace and downplayed concerns of “snake cracks” on deck. Head said that while he was enjoying batting in Perth, the track could get a bit difficult in the final two days, labeling some parts as “horrible”.

“I know I’ve enjoyed batting here, but in parts. There are parts of this wicket that are scary, and there are parts that are simple. I think everyone is talking about that. “It depends on where the wicket goes on the third day, the fourth day and the fifth day, it could be difficult,” Head said.

Head also gave a sneak peek into the preparations for the bouncy track, revealing that he trained with the yellow ball in England during the last Ashes.

“We did well in England. I think we had very little net session after the first Test where we faced cricket balls. We only faced yellow balls. All they are trying to do is (short balls) ‘Cause I knew it was.” We had a long series and I think I was the one who struggled the most in that series, but I laughed a little bit and was like, “I’m going to go train without pads.” It may come up again,” he added.

Speaking about his decision to train with a yellow ball, Head revealed: “I don’t want to break my finger, but I want to strengthen my fingers. It’s not fun to train, it’s difficult to do, and it’s not easy because of the visibility and the wicket.”) He will be at bat as a center fielder. ”
