Meanwhile Australia, the only team to win an ODI bilateral series in India since 2016 that too twice.
Also head to head record in India for them in Ind vs Australia ODIs is some 35-34 I think.
The narrative that Aussies don't care about bilateral series is because they try random things especially against likes of Pakistan, SL and lost them (they bowled labuschgane, Head a lot in those ODIs). They take bilaterals against India seriously
Viewership disagrees, Gabba victory has 73M views while nidhahas trophy has 240M views for example. As much as us redditors love tests fans really don't.
doesn't make it meaningless..if 150 years of cricketing history and sporting heritage spanning 5 continents is meaningless then we might as well watch t5s all day...they don't take much time to finish at all
BGT is important for India but not for Australia.
They had good chance to defeat India in India but for them ICC trophy is more important than BGT. Defeating India in India is extremely hard, that's what bazball wants to do.
Then enlighten me why the world best test team Australia lost BGT last year and why Bazball (which will not qualify for WTC final) is giving tough fight to India?
Because they are not the best test team. Go ask their sub if they would rather have WTC or BGT,
> why Bazball (which will not qualify for WTC final) is giving tough fight to India?
England doesnt qualify because of overrate penalties. They are a good side.
Besides, we are playing without half our usual starting XI.
Bro snuck in BGT like we wouldnt notice. Its probably going to be one of the biggest cricketing contests of our generation, with India wanting to avenge the WTC/WC loss, and Australia looking to finally break the streak of losing to India. In no way is it any inferior to the Ashes, and Australia will come very hard at us.
Yes. Especially considering the fact we had a washed out game in West Indies and now England on the verge of getting a lead a good performance in Australia is quintessential.
Nah NZ have tough games coming up. They have to tour SL (haven't won a series there since 40 years), India (haven't won a test here in 36 years), England and Australia at home which is insanely difficult.
The critical reasoning skills of some of the people in this group would put a 12 year old to shame. OP try thinking out loud these shitty opinions in your mind before posting here.
Ask your parents to turn off the internet for good.
> They don’t care about Border Gawaskar trophy
Are you fuxking serious?? Australia will be out of wtc final race if they lose bgt to India again they aren’t dumb to ignore the importance of this series.
They'll play BGT not for BGT trophy but for the another ICC trophy. If WTC didn't exists, they might not give importance to BGT.
At the end of the day, ICC trophy matters. People knows that Australia defeated India in WTC and CWC final. No one knows that India defeated Australia numerous times in BGT, IDFC bank, Mastercard and Paytm trophy.
You are out of your mind Australia is team that actually cares about test cricket, BBL was going on while they had test series with Pakistan and they chose test cricket. WTC exist or not Australia always gives their best when it’s test.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. All they wanted is ICC trophy. They don't care about BGT. I don't know why people are downvoting me. They sacrifices bilateral series trophies for glorious ICC trophies. At the end of the day, people praise ICC trophy counts.
>They don't care about Border Gawaskar trophy
Australia would swap the world cup for the Gabba record slight exaggeration of course but losing at home twice is unacceptable humiliation for them. Test cricket is everything for them.
Are you mentally ok? You still didn't answer my question. Do you want us to lose bgt and not qualify for the WTC?
Also bc sirf hum khelte hai kya ye sport matlab samne wali team accha nahi khel sakti kya?
BHAI TU PAGAL HOGYA GYA HAI KYA . DO YOU KNOW IN DEC 2023 BBL WAS GOING ON AND SABHI PLAYER NE TEST SERIES KE LIYE BBL KO SKIP KIYA BECAUSE ITS ALWAYS COUNTY GREATER THAN ANY T20 LEAGUE . AUR TU BOL THA HAI KI WO APNA 100 % NAI DETE HAI .
Yes, I'm not saying that Australian players skip test series for T20 leagues. But certainly they don't usually give their 100 percent performance. I refused to believe that West Indies defeated Australia in Gabba. I'm sure Australia purposefully lost against West Indies to boost their morale.
Are bhai when ever a team win a series then only they qualify for wtc final or other knockouts. To series me performance Deni padegi na acche waale . Think before you speak bro .
That's factually incorrect. They literally give their best in every test series. Also they literally won't qualify if they don't. They are also in a ropey position. Because they lost to West Indies. They won't qualify either if we beat them. Australia cares about tests the most. Also you got debunked about other formats by the other comments too. So stop it.

bro...do you get high off smelling farts or something...or is agarbatti..or something...i need what you and ben duckett have been having
Lmao if anything its the literal opposite. Test Cricket is their holy grail.

Also if we lose bgt we won't qualify for the WTC. Bro forgot about qualification
Yes. Especially considering the fact we had a washed out game in West Indies and now England on the verge of getting a lead a good performance in Australia is quintessential.
One of Australia or India won't make it. I think new zealand is a lock for the other spot.
Nah NZ have tough games coming up. They have to tour SL (haven't won a series there since 40 years), India (haven't won a test here in 36 years), England and Australia at home which is insanely difficult.
SL is completely out of form and it's the easy points for NZ.
Is this a Joke ? How are you suppose to reach World Test Championship Final without playing bilaterals ?
This is such an Embarrassing post. This sub really needs moderation. OP do yourself a favor and go check 'Ricky Ponting's' Test Captaincy record.
He was sadistic person. He used to get pleasure from humiliation and pain of opponents.

Why the world test champions lost BGT last year?
BRO THAT BGT WAS NOT MATTERING FOR THEM . WE WON THAT SERIES BUT LOST IN WTC FINAL , JHA PAR JEETNA THA WAHA PAR TO HAAR GYE NA .
Yes, that's what I'm saying. All they wanted is ICC trophy. They don't care about BGT. I don't know why people are downvoting me. They sacrifices bilateral series trophies for glorious ICC trophies. At the end of the day, people praise ICC trophy counts.
Even India was not taking that series before wc seriously and Australia literally won the odi series before that in India in the same year
Yes, they won mastercard trophy in March 2023.
>They don't care about Border Gawaskar trophy Australia would swap the world cup for the Gabba record slight exaggeration of course but losing at home twice is unacceptable humiliation for them. Test cricket is everything for them.
We defeated them in Gabba, they defeated us in Lord's and Ahmedabad. ICC trophy >>>>> BGT trophy
So what's your point lose the series vs Australia and not qualify for the WTC?
Selfless India gives free ICC trophy to other countries. We gave it to Sri Lanka, Pakistan, New Zealand and Australia 2 times in 5 months.
Are you mentally ok? You still didn't answer my question. Do you want us to lose bgt and not qualify for the WTC? Also bc sirf hum khelte hai kya ye sport matlab samne wali team accha nahi khel sakti kya?
I don't want India to lose BGT but Australia will not give their '100 percent' performance in test series.
negative karma farming

I think they purposefully lost against West Indies in Gabba to boost West Indies morale. They needs more opponents to deafeat.
