WI is a more pathetic team than Srilanka, they failed to qualify for the ODI World Cup. They are not that good in test cricket and are ranked below Srilanka in test ranking. They do not have batters with mentally strong enough to play long innings and they lack specialist bowlers for long formats. There was a time when they dominated both test and ODI and that time has long passed. Australia is the best team in the world in test cricket and the possibility of a whitewash cannot be denied in the upcoming series.

This series will help Aussies in improving there test stats. There will be lots of cricket in Australia for WI, they will play 2 test, 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is. In test its almost impossible to beat Aussies at there home. They have an excellent test record at home. I don't think WI team is capable of facing mighty Australians at there home. WI only have a chance in T20I series.

West Indies will not be able to make a good advantage against Australia in two Test matches and three ODIs. That's because Australia has already played a great Test match against Pakistan, Australia batsmen have performed brilliantly, so West Indies can't beat Australia, there's no chance of losing the ODI match either. Because Australia team is in great form since winning the World Cup, their batsmen are batting brilliantly and bowling well. Because of this, it will never be possible for West Indies to beat Australia in Tests and ODIs. But if West Indies play well in T20 matches then maybe they can win a T20 match against Australia. Now let's see how well West Indies can perform against Australia.

Right, David Warner is one of the best player of Australia. Australia recently announced their test squad for West Indies tour and they include Matthew Renshaw in test squad after retirement of David Warner. Steve Smith remain the captain of Australia team in ODI format for west Indies tour that was starting from 17th January. In this series 2 test match is played and 3 Odi match played between Australia and west Indies. Australia is favourite to win the test series beacuse they have best bastmen and bowling unit and recently they whitewash Pakistan by 3-0.

Steve Smith is new opener for Australia tour of WI. Warner retirement will surely bring a huge gap but Aussies have strong structure and they have replacement of every player. As far as Australia tour of WI is concerned, there is rear chance of WI win in any format. Might be due to home advantage WI can show some resistance but there is scarcity of competent players in WI squad.

Its very interesting that Steve Smith open the inning with Usman khawaja in test match against west Indies. Steve smith is very good player but i don't think Steve Smith is best openers like David Warner for Australia. But Australia has great structure to find talented player in their team that why they won the most world cup. West Indies have no chance to beat Australia in test match. I'm sure Australia will also win this series but also whitewash west Indies. If west Indies perform well show some good bowling performance then they have chance to win any match against Australia.

I think David warner ready to play champion trophy 2025 in ODI tournament in Pakistan if Australian cricket board select him. The decisin of retirement from test cricket is good beacuse now they will focus on T20 and leagues cricket short format. David Warner is very dangerous against Pakistan in ODI ans Test cricket. In last test match against Pakistan David Warner scored amazing fifty scores 57 runa in 75 balls out by Sajid khan and played an important role in victory of Australian against Pakistan.

David Warner is lucky enough in recent test, he was dropped so many times by Pakistani fielders. Warner is dangerous not only in front of Pakistani bowlers but he has the ability to destroy any bowling lineup. Warner has played 112 test matches with 44.5 runs average, there are not many players in test history who have such incredible test stats.

You are right David Warner is definitely one of the best players in Australia David Warner performs brilliantly in every match. We saw David Warner perform brilliantly in the three Test series against Pakistan. Pakistan's batsmen helplessly batting disaster against Australia. If Pakistan doesn't focus on their batting then they might not be able to perform so well in the future. Pakistan team bowling is very good but batting is not so good compared to their bowling so they need to focus on batting. Pakistan played three Test matches In the three Test matches against Australia we saw Pakistan's batting disaster.

We still have plenty of time for the BGT so anything could happen. Pant could also make his comeback, fingers crossed.

Skipper is not interested in this idea. If the reports are true then Green is another potential candidate and his name is popping up for the opening.

The ground on which the second Test match between India vs South Africa was played ended in less than two days, earning a demerit point by the ICC. The match ended two days early and both teams bowled a total of 600+ balls due to which the second Test ground earned this demerit from the ICC. Earlier we also saw that against New Zealand, Bangladesh earned a team score point from the ICC for producing such poor wickets. Basically ICC gives such demerit points if the wicket is of extra poor quality.

Makes sense! Personally, I enjoyed the test since wickets were falling like dominoes everywhere and it turned into an ODI before we knew it. The ICC should start giving demerit points to themselves too for some of their shitty, archaic rules.

They need to give demerit points to umpires too since their decisions are turning out to be wrong way too often in recent times.

Not only South Africa but many other countries have produced such poor wickets to take home advantage and bowlers have dominated the results and all the wickets. Although the home team gets some advantage on such wickets, it is very difficult for the visiting team to bat on these wickets. South Africa built wickets like this to win the two Tests against India, but the wicket they built worked against them. India cruised to an easy win against South Africa only to produce a low-quality wicket in the middle which earned South Africa demerit points. ICC should be more strict on making such wickets so that no team makes such bad wickets.

Most likely true but his age shouldn't be a talking point, considering Rohit is also touching the same line.

IMO, you can keep Pujara aside in other tours but he excels in the Aussie conditions because of his grit and willingness to take as much as body blow. You need at least 1 guy with this mindset in your team and if I recollect my memories of last decade then only Pujara fits the bill. Elgar comes second best but they didn't tour as much as India.

I would've liked if the likes of Pujara and Rahane offered their services to weaker state boards and scored against big teams in the domestic.

Rohit is the captain of the Indian national team across all the formats, so age is irrelevant as far as he is concerned. Probably the selectors don't want a test squad where half of the guys are above 35. Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami and Ravichandran Ashwin all fall in this category. But I agree with you on his performance in Australia. He has performed exceptionally well in past tours. Not so sure about Rahane though. I haven't heard about him in a while. He played a few matches for Mumbai in Vijay Hazare Trophy, but couldn't make a lot of runs.

Not surprised about the demerit points, to be honest. I saw that coming when the first day was played on that ground. No test match should end that early. That was a total bowler’s heaven. Although I enjoy these kinds of bowler dominant test matches, I think this match was over too quickly. But hats off to Markram for the way he batted in the 2nd innings and got that century.

Warner has retired from Test and ODI but will continue to play T20 cricket, as per my knowledge. He is no doubt one of the greatest opening batsmen produced in the history that can play test, ODI and T20 format. He play test as genuine test player while in T20I he is a solid hitter like a young player. Aussies have a good domestic setup and they will produce some other great opener to replace Warner.

Yes, I agree with you about the above-mentioned text for David Warner's cricket career, and his retirement from Test and ODI formats while noting that he will continue playing T20 cricket. The statement also praises Warner as one of the greatest opening batsmen in cricket history, highlighting his ability to excel in all three formats. The mention of Warner's playing style in T20Is and the confidence in Australia's domestic setup to produce another great opener suggests a positive outlook on the future of Australian cricket despite Warner's retirement from certain formats. If you have a specific question or if there's a particular aspect you'd like more information on, feel free to let me know!

Not sure about Rahane but i believe Pujara's services are much needed in Australia. He's kryptonite to Aussies on their home turf.

I am not sure whether Cheteshwar Pujara will ever get selected to the Indian test team again. By the time of the next test series for India, he will be 36 years old and he last played for India 8 months back. Currently he is playing for Saurashtra in Indian domestic cricket, and today he scored an unbeaten 243 versus Jharkhand. And this was against a bowling attack that comprised of experienced players such as Shahbaz Nadeem and Anukul Roy. Ajinkya Rahane is also playing first class cricket for Mumbai, but he is in very poor form for the last few months.

Most likely true but his age shouldn't be a talking point, considering Rohit is also touching the same line.

IMO, you can keep Pujara aside in other tours but he excels in the Aussie conditions because of his grit and willingness to take as much as body blow.

Yeah, he is. But so far how Pujara reacted for not selecting in SA series it clearly means something is going on behind the scenes and they will just blame his last two-year poor performance as a reason to not select him. It's not particularly about Pujara alone but forming a whole set of batting unit for the test matches and India is capable of doing that than any other team but still they want to go with IPL stars with all kind of format in the international arena.

True and SKY is the main example.

Having said that, i don't mind IPL stars featuring in Test cricket, given they have a good record in the Ranji. Sometimes talents get overlooked in domestic cricket and IPL fixes this problem as far as the limelight and fame go so it has its pros and cons.

Pakistani International test cricket team is becoming very weak. I did not see Pakistani team like Pakistani International test cricket team is today. With this team,we can't win tournament match ,so Pakistani selectors are thinking that with this team ,they will win match against top class team Australia. That is funny thing and what are doing the Pakistani selectors ? They prefer reference and that's why Pakistani test cricket team is losing its value on International level.Misbah UL Haq time was great. He didn't bend Pakistani International test cricket team and his performance was very good in test matches.

It's not uncommon for fans to express their opinions on team performance. Selecting the right players and maintaining a strong team is crucial for success in international cricket. Cricket can be an unpredictable game. Let's hope for improvements and success in future matches.

To be honest I agree with @MusaPk. In the three tests that Pakistan has played in Australia, I think Warner got about 5-6 chances in the 6 innings that he played in these 3 tests. He scored so many runs after he got them second chances. He would have probably scored half the runs that he scored in this series than he did after getting all the chances. Shaheen Afridi and Jamal were getting the fielders the chances in the early stages of the match with the new ball and Warner would have gotten out early on so many occasions.

But despite all that he is still an Australian legend I think it will be hard for Australia to replace him.

The Pakistan players should improve their game,because the Australian had the capability to get back in the short period in the cricket game.Because we never forget the game of Australia woman players against India in the second T20 match,they had won the game with the one over left and win by 6 wickets.This was the unique come back after the same team had loss the first T20 by the 9 wickets.Warner was the good player in the various sections.He dominated the Pakistan team in this match by scoring the half of the runs in the complete series.Australian already had good record against the team Pakistan in all format.

David Warner was definitely the best opener for Australia. The Australian batsman's ability to play in Test ODI and T23 format was excellent. He retired from Test cricket while in form and there are rumors that he will start his next career as a team coach. However, he has said that he will become a coach only if his wife allows him to become a coach. As much as David Warner has excelled in his career as a player, he will excel in his career as a coach. If he chooses coaching career then maybe Australia team can keep him as batting coach or as assistant coach but it's a matter of time before he has to decide to get license before he can take charge of a team.
