Were giving blokes thumbs up when theyre beating us outside the off stump: Allan Border #IndiaNEWS #Sports
New Delhi, Feb 11 (IANS) After Australia were thrashed by India by a huge margin of an innings and 132 runs in the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar series at VCA Stadium in Nagpur, legendary Allan Border slammed the visitors, saying the batters are giving thumbs up to the bowlers on being beaten outside the off-stump.
During the match, there were a few moments when talismanic batter Steve Smith was seen giving a thumbs up to Ravindra Jadeja after he was beaten on the outside edge in the first innings, which drew Borders ire.
Play with a harder edge. I mean, were giving blokes the thumbs up when theyre beating us outside the off stump. What the hell is going on? That is just ridiculous. Dont go stupid, but Australia play hard nose cricket. Were even giving someone thumbs up bloody hell, Border was quoted as saying by Fox Cricket.
In the second innings, where Australia were 91 all out on Saturday, Smith had the highest score with his 25 not out. Apart from him, no other batter made more than 20 as Australia lost all 10 wickets in a session, with ace off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin taking his 31st five-fer, to lose the Nagpur Test.
Border remarked Australia now need to do some soul-searching and figure out their way of playing for the rest of the series.
Theres so many scars there now, its going to be a tough few days. You can talk the talk, but ultimately the boys with the bat in hand and ball in hand have got to do the job, he said.
Its going to be hard to find a way, but theyve just got to do it. A big, soul-searching dressing room drink-a-thon tonight, just to try to thrash something out. Thats as bad as we can play, theres only one way to go from here, he added.
The 67-year old was also left baffled at the decision to omit left-handed batter Travis Head for the Nagpur Test, mentioning it was the moment that proved Australias Test tour of India was going to be full of chaos.
