Cricket: Australian captain Steve Smith has dismissed the idea that India had an unfair advantage, after Smith's side fell in the semi-final of the Champions Trophy.
While the dominant Test cricket nation in the world, Australia’s hold on ICC Championship trophies remains at two after a brave but ill-fated campaign in Pakistan and Dubai ended with a four wicket loss to India in a semi-final early on Wednesday.
While Australia seeks to win every trophy, given the tournament absentees and the round-robin casualties, to challenge India in a semi-final is clearly an acceptable result.Steve Smith assessed the end of Australia’s bold bid to win the Champions Trophy Thirty was also the key age in the ODI team edged by India in Dubai in the Champions Trophy, but with a difference.
While there are clear differences in requirements between the two shorter form games, the core who featured for Australia in this Champions Trophy should be primed for next year, with some superstars certain to return as well. But caveats can and should be applied. He did not bat in two of those matches, had only just arrived at the crease in the WC decider against India in 2023 and was also unbeaten against England last month when scoring 32, which is his top score through this stanza.
The search to find a permanent replacement for David Warner in all forms of the game continues but Matt Short showed excellent signs on the subcontinent prior to injury. Ben Dwarshuis was playing just his fifth match and was preferred to Spencer Johnson for the semi-final after the Aussies opted for a spin-heavy attack given the pitch in Dubai.
While Konstas did not play in Sri Lanka, he has the opportunity to test himself in the nets in new conditions and shapes as a critical player in the future for his country.has been questioned at length and their respective failures opened the door for critics to have a crack at them. Ponting has worked with the Victorian in the IPL and has no doubt about his talent, but said Fraser-McGurk has stalled through the summer.
“Cricket is a skill-based game and there are many skilled cricketers out there. However, it’s the mental aspect — the game within your head — that often determines who will rise to the top. That’s what will make them better and sustain their careers in the long run.” Fraser-McGurk and Travis Head are among batters who will earn more than $1 million for their participation, with Starc, Cummins and Hazelwood returning to the fray for salaries ranging between $2.15 million to $3.7 million.
