Where Have Australia Gone Wrong?
Ravi Shastri stated that greater than the rest, it was Australia’s lack of perception in their very own defence that led to their downfall within the first two Tests. “I think application (has let them down) more than anything else. The lack of belief in their own defence. The lack of application and the lack of discipline was unreal and Australia paid for it big time,” he stated.

“It’s very important to go back to the basics, go back to the drawing board. If you don’t trust your defence, you have no chance because that’s when you entertain thoughts of breaking free, much quicker than you normally should. Sometimes you’ve got to spend some time at the crease, but how are you going to spend some time at the crease if you don’t trust your defence?” he added.
The 3rd Test will start on 9:30 AM IST.
