Australian batting stood tall – Australian team had a great start to the game as at one stage on day one, they were at a comfortable position with a score of 149 at loss of three wickets but lost their next seven wickets for 111 runs. It was called an epic fall but the critics were forced to take their words back after watching a great Indian batting collapse in both the innings.
Australian batsmen scored enough runs in both the innings and the way they played against the spinners was remarkable. They were patient, waited for opportunities and did no rush to score runs. Their simple mantra was to spend time at the crease and the runs will come which was evident by the fact that they played 94.5 overs in the first innings and 87 overs in the second innings.
On the other hand, Indian team batted for just 74 overs in toto, which is enough to tell the contrasting difference between both the teams.
