For many, Australia appears to be a more unsettled side of the two. They hoped to be 3-0 up in the series coming into the Melbourne Test, having played the first three Tests in favoured conditions in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane. Instead, the series stands at 1-1.
The Australians know the stakes: one loss could end their dream of regaining the BorderGavaskar Trophy after eight years. Having last won the trophy in 2014-15 and having lost to India twice on home soil in 2018 and 2021, this could be the last roll of the dice for Cummins and his men.
Australia can take heart in Mitch Starc’s form. At the nets on Tuesday, most Australian batters struggled against him. He was getting the ball to move at pace and jump awkwardly.
The problem for India is they don’t have anyone to simulate Starc and will know that he is the obstacle in their path to repeat the 2020 heroics at the MCG.
