Fast reaching the point of no-return, the option in front of Australia is clear—rid the gremlins festering in their heads, relegate their apprehensions about the pitch to the background and take the field without preconceived notions. That’s easier said than done, especially given how obsessive Australia have been in their preparation, convinced for no good reason that they will be confronted by minefields on this Test tour of India.
Humbled inside three days by an innings in Nagpur last week, Australia have the opportunity to reiterate their spunk and spirit from Friday when the second Test gets going at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. From the look of things, they haven’t been able to get rid of their surface tension, given how much time they have spent inspecting the 22-yard strip of real estate, dry but not overly so, nestled in the middle of the ground. But so long as they find their own individual ways of countering spin and their inner demons, they should be all right. Or so skipper Pat Cummins will believe.
