Not the time to look at what happened at Gabba in 2021: Mitchell Marsh

The Australian team doesn't have the time to think about India's incredible victory at the Gabba in 2021 and ahead of their face-off at the same venue almost four years later, Mitchell Marsh says the home side would rather focus on its ability to bounce back like it did in Adelaide last week. On the previous tour, Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill had starred in a historic series winning fourth innings chase at the Gabba, handing Australia their first loss at the venue since 1988. "The biggest thing for us is focussing on this week and not (any) more time on the past. The way we bounced back from Perth (defeat) was an example of that. So we are really focussed on playing our style this week," Marsh said on sidelines of the Australian practice session. On his own fitness concerns, he said: I had a sore back, but right now it's feeling as good as it has felt." Marsh hasn't bowled much in first two Tests but that was always part of the plan. "We had a really clear plan before the series

IND vs AUS 3rd Test: McSweeney hopes to throw a few punches at Bumrah

Rookie Australia opener Nathan McSweeney hopes to "throw a few more punches" at the Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah in the third Test at the Gabba, starting Saturday. Bumrah tuned out to be McSweeney's nemesis in his maiden Test series as he dismissed the right-hander thrice in the last two games but he came back well with a gutsy first innings 39 in the first innings of the second Test in Adelaide. The young opener feels that it couldn't get better initiation to international cricket than face someone with Bumrah's skill level. "To get a bowler like Jasprit early on my career, it's not going to get much tougher than that. I can take some confidence getting through a spell in Adelaide, and the more I face him, the more comfortable I'll get against him. It's challenging, no doubt, but it's nice to get a little bit of confidence from Adelaide, and hopefully continue throughout the series," he told cricket.com.au. "Facing him for the first time, he's quite a unique bowler So (it'

It's not just Usman Khawaja but the entire Australian top-order that is feeling the "pressure" despite the series-levelling win in Adelaide, reckons former opener David Warner.

"I think the pressure is on all the top order, not just Uzzie', the former Australian left-hander was quoted saying by Fox Cricket. Travis Head smashed a memorable hundred at home as Australia bounce back to level the five match series after a crushing loss in Perth. "Travis came out and counterpunched and scored a brilliant hundred, and we know he's capable of doing it. But it's everyone else around supporting that," said Warner. "It's not just one player in particular, it's the top six scoring bulk runs and making sure you're giving rest to the fast bowlers. It was a fast-paced Test in the first game, bu
