IND vs AUS: Seeing the performance of Team India, a strange statement came from the Australian team, finding fault with the pitch.
After the second day of the Perth Test match, the Australian coach made a big statement regarding the pitch of Optus Stadium.
While a total of 17 wickets fell on the first day of the Perth Test match between India and Australia, only three wickets fell in the second day’s play. Everyone seems to be praising the way Team India made a comeback with the ball and then the bat in this match. On the other hand, the Australian team, which had bundled out Team India’s first innings with a score of just 150, was clearly disappointed on the faces of its players after the second day’s play, the biggest reason for which was the excellent performance of Team India’s opening pair, who scored 150 runs in the second innings. At the end of the day’s play, there was a partnership of 172 runs without any loss. After the end of the day’s play, Australian team head coach Andrew McDonald made such a statement regarding the pitch which clearly showed his team’s disappointment.
India batted better due to quick drying of the pitch
After the end of the second day of the Perth Test match, Australian team head coach Andrew McDonald, in response to a question about his team’s performance in the press conference, said that today the pitch looked very dry or it dried very quickly. . We thought that maybe the new ball would have a little more swing in it but it did not happen. So I think if you want to say we were a bit surprised then yes we were because the seam movement or swing was not as much as we expected after the first day’s play.
There is no doubt that we are behind in the game right now
Andrew McDonald further said in his statement that there is no doubt that we are behind in this match right now, but there are ups and downs in the game and we will bounce back soon. There are still about 20 overs left for the new ball to arrive and before that we will try to take one or two wickets so that we can make better use of the new ball. This is a big series in which both the teams will make mistakes. Both KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal played well.
