It’s cheese and chalk

Cricket: India coach Ravi Shastri acknowledged his team lack Australia’s pink-ball experience but is convinced their “fabulous five” pacemen can bowl the tourists to a second successive test series victory Down Under. Australia have played seven day-night tests, the most by any country, since 2015 and won each of them while India were late to embrace the innovation and played their only pink-ball test against Bangladesh in Kolkata last year. “Bangladesh and Australia, it is like cheese and chalk,” said Shastri.
