India's double success affirms need for more Test matches
The Morning Standard
|December 25, 2023
IN the leadup to the India-Australia Test, it was made clear that there were no points allotted for this match like there are in the Ashes.
Australia even brought the multi-format trophy they won in 2021, only to realise later that no points were to be shared. There were no Test championship points at stake in Mumbai. Like the Test against England in Navi Mumbai, this was a one-off Test against the side that plays the longest format fairly regularly.
Even before the fixture started, only one of the sides knew when and where their next Test would be. And none of it mattered when India's vice-captain Smriti Mandhana lofted Jess Jonassen over her head to seal a famous victory against Australia by eight wickets at Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
