To Keep Virat Kohli Silent'Let's look closely at that Australian side. Let's look closely at Australia's form. They went to play the Ashes in 2023, finished 2-2, but it rained in Manchester. It could've been easily 3-2 to England. Then, their home series, the two Test matches against Pakistan. Australia looked a bit iffy. Then of course, the Aussies lost to a very hit and miss Test side in the West Indies, the series was levelled at 1-1.
