Nagpur: The Australian camp is in turmoil after India lost the first Test by an innings and 132 runs on the third day itself. The great former Australian captain, after whom this series is named after Allan Border, is extremely unhappy with his team. Saddened by the attitude of the players. The 67-year-old Border has reprimanded the players for playing with full intensity. The incident which particularly raised the bar for Border was Steve Smith showing a thumbs up after being beaten by an Indian spinner.
Allan Border, who played 156 Tests and 273 ODIs for Australia between 1979 and 1994, says, ‘When those guys were getting beaten outside the off stump, we were showing them the thumbs up. What the hell is going on? That’s just ridiculous. Don’t be fooled, Australia give a tough fight, but we had completely surrendered. The former Australia captain said that the Baggy Greens need to come up with some strategy to bounce back in the series.
Former captain Steve Smith was the highest scorer for Australia in the second innings with 25 runs. The Australian team, which scored 177 runs in the first innings, was reduced to just 91 runs in the second innings. This was his second lowest score against India in Tests. Team India had scored 400 runs in their first innings.
With this win, India has taken a 1-0 lead in the four-match Border Gavaskar Trophy. Off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (5/37) did not allow the Kangaroos to stay at the crease by taking five wickets. After the resounding win, Rohit Sharma said that on such a pitch, batsmen need to adopt some methods that are not conventional to score runs.
