Tim Paine Admits Australia Played Poor Cricket in Melbourne Test Vs India – Why did a strong Australia, who crushed India for 36, get such an embarrassing defeat?

The four-match Test series between India and Australia is going on. In the first Test played in Adelaide, the Indian team was reduced to the minimum score of their test. After tackling the Indian innings for just 36 runs, the giants around the world predicted a 0-4 loss to Team India in the series. India looked weak with the new captain in the Boxing-Day Test without players like regular captain Kohli, Mohammed Shami, but what happened was that the host Kangaroos, who were strong contenders for victory, had to suffer such an embarrassing defeat.

Neither the Australian batsman looked in color nor the old edge in bowling. In addition, 11 players also took a total of eight catches in two innings, meaning the field was also poor. Australia scored 195 and 200 runs in this Test, none of its batsmen scored half-centuries. Despite the defeat, Australian captain Tim Paine said his team did not need to change the batting order, but the top order would have to perform better.

Penn admitted that poor batting and poor fielding were the reasons for the team’s defeat. He said, ‘Low score was one of the reasons and we also took catches. Fielding was poor. ‘ Australia also gave life to Ajinkya Rahane, who scored a century. Rahane was given a life by Mitchell Starc in the second innings as well. Penn denied that Australia had done a lot in preparation after the victory in Adelaide.

The improvised opener Matthew Wade scored 30 and 40, while Marnus Labuschen scored 28 and 48, but Joe Burns and Travis Head did nothing. Steve Smith, the team’s number one batsman, was a complete flop. Penn said after the match that he did not think a change in batting order was needed. We have to bat better, no matter who is at the crease. We have to score runs. This is the job of the top seven in the Australian cricket team.

Penn said, ‘We did not change the preparation. There is no such change after a win or defeat. Sometimes the difference in international sports is so small that the results vary. Like here in the first and second test. The Indians bowled quite disciplined. We could not make big partnerships. ‘

Penn, who has expressed his displeasure over the review of the umpires’ decision (DRS), said, “I spoke to the umpires, but nothing came out of it.” Yesterday, it was not about technology, but to establish a pattern with Pujara’s wicket in the first innings. The umpires did not watch the replays carefully as there was a difference between the ball and the bat.
