Parts of Perth's wicket can be terrifying: Travis Head warns ahead of 1st Test

India Today  

Australia’s explosive batter Travis Head has fired a pitch warning ahead of the 1st Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy series between India and Australia. "I do know that I've enjoyed batting here – in parts," Head, who averages over 40 at the venue and was one run short of a century against West Indies here two summers ago, told the Unplayable Podcast.

To prepare for the barrage of bouncers he faced during last year’s Ashes, Travis Head practised with softer yellow indoor cricket balls in the nets, aimed at his body and head.
