Same Old Australian Media
Australian media has a history of targeting opponents as if it is some warcraft. And in this way, they continue to build on the mind games throughout the IND vs AUS Test series. While India posted a modest total on the board, India’s bowling was top-notch towards the end of Day 1 in Sydney.
Rishabh Pant accused the hosts of time wasting, them being afraid of not playing another over. While Jasprit Bumrah got into a war of words with Sam Konstas, Pant cried to the reporters about Australia’s plan. The Aussie media have thus claimed India to be crybabies.
As things stand in the Sydney Test, India posted a modest total of 185 on Day 1. Coming to bat second, Australia managed to score 9 runs while losing Usman Khawaja. Now the hosts trail by 176 runs heading into Day 2 of the last Test match of the series.
