Australian great Geoff Lawson has blamed captain Pat Cummins' lack of knowledge of spinning tracks and assistant coach Daniel Vettori's inadequate inputs for the team's woeful performance in India. India have won the first two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy inside three days, with their spin-bowling duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja doing the maximum damage. Australia lost the opening Test in Nagpur by an innings and 132 run, while the second match in New Delhi saw the tourists faring a little better but the outcome was the same -- a six-wicket win for India.

Australia batters have miserably failed in their attempt to tackle India's spin-bowling duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. So far in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, Jadeja and Ashwin have bagged 31 of the 40 Australian wickets.
