Australia`s formidable bowling attack featuring Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon "can do the job" against "red hot" India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy later this year, believes head coach of Pakistan`s Test team Jason Gillespie. Since 2014-15, Australia have failed to lay their hands on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with India winning four consecutive series, including the historic triumphs Down Under in 2018-19 and 2020-21. But Gillespie, who claimed 259 wickets in 71 Tests, feels Australian bowlers can reverse the trend.
"I will be backing them in and I am sure they can do the job," the former Australian pacer told `Fox Sports`. "They are the best bowlers in the country. Their records speak for themselves. This quartet, including Nathon Lyon, is the best possible bowling attack that Australia can put out in the park," he added. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team hasn`t lost a series in the ongoing WTC cycle with India defeating West Indies (away) and England (home) and holding South Africa (away) to a draw.
