You know in Australia the challenge is huge. They’re batting their top order, no matter who’s playing, is unbelievable, their top six or seven.”
Hazelwood also reminisced about his debut series against India, where he managed to dismiss Virat Kohli. He expressed hope that Australia can win the series this time, especially for players like Travis Head and Cameron Green who have not yet experienced a series win against India.
