Perfection. Yes, that’s what it takes to beat India at home. Post the win within the third Test in Indore , Australia head coach Andrew McDonald could not agree extra.
He stated any group visiting India want to be close to excellent so as to problem them, and within the Indore Test, aside from that collapse within the 1st innings, Australia didn’t put a foot improper. “You have almost got to be near perfect against India in India. I think this game (Indore Test) besides that 6 for 11 was near perfect,” McDonald was quoted as saying ‘ESPNcricinfo’.
According to McDonald, the group’s success within the Indore Test proved that the senior gamers within the group are understanding what it takes to win within the subcontinent, and in future, they may help the group acquire additional success.
“Everyone’s journey starts at some point in time on the subcontinent, and I think there’s a core group of players that will come back here more experienced and, in theory, better equipped for the challenges. We’re talking about a series here where we’ve had certain conditions that probably aren’t relatable to any other subcontinent tour over time, so it’s always a different challenge when you do arrive here.”
On a pitch rated “poor” by the ICC, the guests rode on star off-spinner Nathan Lyon‘s 11-wicket match haul to humble the guests by 9 wickets and make sure their place within the World Test Championship (WTC) closing.

“We had a little bit of luck. Marnus (Labuschagne) getting bowled off a no-ball, how critical was that now, (and) that allowed a partnership to flourish. We took our opportunities as well. Usman’s (Khawaja) flying catch and then Smudge (Smith Smith) winding back the clock with that one at leg slip. You compare that to the Delhi game where Smudge dropped one at first slip and then we dropped one at leg slip in Matthew Renshaw, and they were critical. We had one hour of chaos there and that cost us that Test match when we’d played pretty good cricket. We came here and doubled down on what we’d set out to achieve at the start of the tour,” McDonald stated.
The final Test is scheduled for March 9 in Ahmedabad.
