Former Australia batter Matthew Hayden slammed Team India after their forgetful performance in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at The Oval in London.
“There’s no point beating your chest at the national anthem or the Australians beating their chest at the national anthem. You beat your chest out at the center. There wasn’t enough energy yesterday from India. When Australia dominated, they’re going to get dominated again with this partnership if they don’t turn up and hunt us a pack,” Hayden told Star Sports.
“The great sides of India used to do exactly that. Stick to a plan and hunt like a pack. From the Australian point of view, much of the same. If India don’t turn up today, continue to bowl short, and back of the lengths. Continue to get cut, go over the top of the third man, then they’re going to get owned during the first session. They get owned in the first session, then from Australia’s point of view, they’re just going to boss this Test match. It is going to slip away so quickly. So runs have to be hard to come by,” the former Australian cricketer added.
