Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023: Australia will win on “fair Indian wickets”, says Healy

The Hindu  

Host India will have the upper hand if the tracks are rank turners in the upcoming Test series but Australia will win on “fair” pitches, feels former wicketkeeper Ian Healy. “I think if they produce fair Indian wickets, that are good batting wickets, to start with, probably spin and spin pretty consistently but spin a long way, late in the match … we win,” Healy said on ‘SENQ Breakfast’. “I’m worried about Starc and Lyon in the first Test … if they’re unfair wickets which I’ve seen in the last series, where balls were jumping ridiculously and sliding down low from day one, I think India play those conditions better than us,” he added. “I just think they have to live and breathe that pressure and have a philosophy over there.” Australia, who haven’t won a Test series in India since 2004, will also play in New Delhi, Dharamsala and Ahmedabad.
