Jason Gillespie said the team needs the stump-to-stump consistency of South all-rounder Australian Dan Christian against India in the opening Test.
“Dan Christian will debut in Melbourne – I can’t see any way around it. He bowls quicker than he is given credit for with his seamers and has variation. Dan is ready for Tests. He’s a good package,” Gillespie was quoted saying in Courier Mail.
Gillsepie felt Christian is a capable all-rounder and therefore deserves a serious consideration.
Australia would be banking on James Pattinson and Nathan Lyon to propel the team against India.
The former pacer also felt Australia would counter the likes of Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma with experience.
