Preview
There they were, sat like a couple getting their wedding photo taken. They couldn’t have picked a better spot, or a more popular one anyway. The hill at the Adelaide Oval. Being asked to smile, laugh like they meant it, and even make sure their shoulders were touching as they stood with their backs turned to each other.
As pre-series photoshoots go, it couldn’t have been more romantic. And to their credit, both Pat Cummins and Kraigg Brathwaite did oblige the photographer with all her requests. Even at one point, holding their sunglasses in a way that you could see their eyes peeking out from the top. A day before the start of the first Test, neither Cummins nor Brathwaite could have looked more relaxed and at peace with the world than they did while posing together under the Moreton Bay fig trees.
And as you stood there, watching the two captains cosying up to each other, you couldn’t help but get sucked into the unavoidable nostalgia that surrounds Test cricket involving Australia and the West Indies. The great matches, the great players, the great moments, and the great rivalry.
But that’s both the best and the worrying parts about Test cricket involving Australia and the West Indies in the current context. That we keep yearning back to the good ol’ days more and more as the West Indies keep slipping further and further into supposed oblivion as a Test team.

Maybe it’s on us then to rewire our thinking and even our mind-set as we approach an Australia-West Indies series. To somehow avoid getting into that apathetic attitude towards the current team of players from the Caribbean and start comparing them to the megastars of yore. Maybe it’s on us to focus more on Brathwaite and the rest of the West Indians who are currently in town and get to know them better, especially when it comes to how they go on the field, with all cynicism aside.
The onus for that, at many levels, of course does rest with the many relatively unknown faces in the opposition line-up, three of whom will make their debuts on Wednesday (January 17). It is the start of yet another new era for the West Indies in Test cricket, more due to some of the better-known names being unavailable rather than those who are here having broken the door down and forced themselves into the squad. But they’re here now. And over the next couple of weeks can perhaps, like their captain expects them to, make their families proud back home and hopefully compete to such a level against the mighty Aussies that they do end up making a name for themselves here.
It’s a sort of new beginning for Australia too, now with the David Warner era having ended in Sydney. And that’ll add to the intrigue around a Test that is generally quite an event in itself, even if it is being held at a time that it’s not used to.

WI vs AUS Match winner Prediction
While AUS batting form and spin bowling are impressive, I slightly favor AUS to win the match. Their home advantage, explosive batting potential, and experienced bowling attack might give them the edge. However, it’s definitely going to be a nail-biter, and I wouldn’t be surprised if WI pulls off an upset!
Remember: This is just a prediction based on current information. The actual outcome can be different, so stay tuned for the thrilling match and enjoy!
