Even though this was a difficult track to bat on, they should not have been bowled out in under a day and a half. So that needs to be rectified for the Brisbane test match,” Hayden said on Star Sports.
The towering southpaw also provided his take on India라이브 바카라 bowling performance in Adelaide. He said: “Bowling I thought, on average was pretty good.

Meanwhile, Harbhajan shared his thoughts on what went wrong for India in the second test and how India should approach the upcoming matches. He said: “One area where India would like to improve is the partnerships. We need to have big partnerships.

The third India vs Australia Test begins at the famed Gabba in Brisbane on December 14.
