4: Seniors have to back inexperienced batsmen:
Everyone is vouching for a Test series whitewash against Australia which won’t be that easy for the hosts as the visitors also have some quality players who could handle the pressure well; be it either with the bat or a ball.
There’s a feeling that it won’t get any worse for the visitors than what they faced last year in Sri Lanka were they missed several chances to make a comeback in the series and it’s more evident after their performance against India A where they had shown some stiff resistance under hot and humid conditions particularly against slow bowling.
Following the battle of nerves, it’s going to be their litmus Test, and above all an opportunity for youngsters – to cement their place for Australia in the longer format of cricket.
