On Sunday, India ripped Australia apart, dismissing them for a paltry 113 in the second innings of the ongoing Delhi Test. India's lethal spin duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja wreaked havoc, sharing all ten wickets between them to shock the visiting team.
After Australia collapsed in the second innings, legendary cricketer Allan Border vented out his frustration, slamming the visiting batters for underestimating their defensive technique and adopting an over-aggressive approach, which backfired badly on them on Sunday morning.
"I'm angry about the way they went about it today. It was panicky, frenetic sort of batting. Nobody got in there to stem the flow with some good defensive cricket. They were all just getting out playing sweep shot, reverse sweep to just about every ball. You can't get away with that on that sort of track. You've got to have a method."
Meanwhile, Hayden, who played a crucial role for Australia on their 2001 tour of India, was also quite vocal about the batters' poor approach, reckoning they went slightly overboard with their attacking gameplay.
"These are world-class players, and they've got everything to win and everything to lose in this session. They did it so well last evening in those few overs. But what we've seen here is a disaster for Australia. They've gone way over the edge in terms of their aggressive play."
Meanwhile, chasing 115, India look favourites to win the game, well-placed at 69 for two as of writing.
