It was unthinkable after the disaster in Delhi, but Australia stands on the cusp of drawing the Border-Gavaskar series should they win back-to-back Tests in India for the first time in 53 years.
abc.net.au/news/australia-fourth-test-india-ahmedabad-draw-series/102067398Heading into the fourth Test in Ahmedabad, Australia is in with a chance of drawing the series with India.
But despite those absentees, Australia's team for the third Test was more balanced: in came Cam Green, even if barely used as a bowler, just two overs in the first innings; Travis Head's exclusion was rectified; and Mitch Starc provided control and pace at the other end.So, how big would it be to draw a series from 2-0 down?
That series was a wild ride: England won the first Test in Brisbane by 322 runs after bowling Australia out for just 58 in 12.3 overs, then claimed the second by an innings and 22 runs in Sydney after making Australia follow on, having bowled them out for 80 chasing England's 6-426.

Albanese is seeking to ‘diversify’ trade links for a ‘more secure’ economyAustralia is seeking to “deepen and diversify” its trade links as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese travels to India with “one of the biggest and most significant” business delegations ever assembled in Australia. “By any measure, Australia is a better place because of our large, diverse and aspirational Indian-Australian community – the fastest growing group in Australia,” Mr Albanese said at a speech during the 2023 Business Summit on Tuesday. “In 2021-22, India was only Australia’s sixth largest goods and services trading partner … we can elevate that. “Our government is seeking to deepen and diversify Australia’s trade links, greater diversity in who we trade with and greater variety in what we trade.” Mr Albanese said this would mean the Australian economy would be “more resilient and more secure” with “one in four” Australian jobs relying on international trade as he expressed his determination to create more jobs in the export industry for the global expanse of Australian companies.
