The only experienced name in the relatively inexperienced top six with the head of Osman Khwaja and Travis, Australian batting looks unstable, but his bowling attack remains elite. Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Leone tried and the trial quarter should not be introduced. They are dangerous and capable of turning the game on their own.
The West Indies, meanwhile, want to write history again. This has been a long wait as he defeated Australia in a home series, but under the new captain Roston Chase, hope. The Windies has a good mixture of experience and hunger, in which the Krigag Brathwaite, Shai Hope, and Alzari Joseph know that fresh faces such as Shamar Joseph and Jeden Seal bring fire. In particular, Shamar kept his eye on another impressive performance after tearing through Australia in Brisbane.
Circumstances can play a big role here. If the pitch provides anything to the seamers, both sides have firepower to exploit it. But with both batting line-ups facing pressure, it can come down that keeps its nerve for a long time. Australia has opted to bat first after winning the toss – and the stage is scheduled for an attractive five -day Test cricket.
