Australia Unfazed by India's Gabba Triumph, Focuses on Comeback
Australia is putting any thoughts of India's recent victory at the Gabba behind them and instead concentrating on adapting and bouncing back like they did in Adelaide, according to Mitchell Marsh.
India's historic win at the Gabba, which ended Australia's 32-match unbeaten streak at the venue, was a blow to the home team's pride. However, Marsh believes the team can learn from the experience and come back stronger.
"We're not really focusing on what India did at the Gabba. We're just worrying about ourselves and making sure we're preparing as well as we can and adapting to the conditions," Marsh said.
"We know we've got a lot of work to do, but we're confident we can bounce back like we did in Adelaide."
In the Adelaide Test, Australia lost the first day and a half of play to rain. However, they fought back to win the match by 29 runs, with Travis Head scoring a brilliant century in the second innings.
Marsh believes the team's ability to adapt and bounce back is one of its strengths.
"We've got a lot of experience in this team, and we know that things don't always go your way in cricket," Marsh said.
"But we're always looking for ways to improve and adapt, and we know that we've got the skills to win matches, even when things aren't going our way."
Marsh Addresses Fitness, Bowling Plans
Marsh also addressed his own fitness concerns, which have hampered him in recent months.
"I'm feeling pretty good at the moment, and I'm looking forward to getting out there and contributing to the team," Marsh said.
Marsh is also planning to contribute to the team's bowling efforts, although he admits that he's not sure what his exact role will be.
"I'm happy to bowl whenever the captain wants me to," Marsh said. "I'm not sure what my exact role will be, but I'm just going to try and be as effective as I can."
No Unsolicited Advice for Steve Smith
Despite Steve Smith's struggles with the bat in recent months, Marsh does not believe in giving him unsolicited advice.
"Steve's a world-class player, and he knows what he needs to do," Marsh said.
"I'm not going to give him any unsolicited advice. He's got all the experience and knowledge he needs to get back to his best."
