"Forgot About Bowling Himself": Australia Great Pin Points Pat Cummins' Mistakes In Delhi Test

The legendary Allan Border feels Pat Cummins had a lot to worry about as the series against India was his "first real test as captain" and in the process under-bowled himself in the second Test in Delhi. Australia conceded the four-match series for the Border Gavaskar Trophy after losing the opening two Tests in Nagpur and Delhi. Cummins, who had faced just one defeat as captain before coming to India, was the sole quick in the Australian playing XI in the six-wicket loss in Delhi. He bowled just 13 overs in the first innings and didn't bowl at all in India's second essay.

Matthew Hayden Ready To Help Solve Australian Batting Woes Against Indian Spinners: Report

Batting great Matthew Hayden is ready to help Australia solve their batting woes in the ongoing Test series if asked after the visiting side was bamboozled by the Indian spinners in the first two matches, according to a report.

Hayden, commentating on the series for host broadcaster Star Sports, said he would happily put his hand up to help Australia's debacle against Indian spinners and he would do it for nothing.

"In Indian Cricket History...": Gautam Gambhir's Incredible Remark On Veteran Batter

Former India cricketer Gautam Gambhir lavished praise on India's Test player Cheteshwar Pujara. Lauding the batting mainstay of the team, Gambhir said that Pujara has batted the finest in the history of Indian cricket. The former India opener-turned-politician said that people should talk more about the player and added that he is a role model for youngsters in the country.

David Warner Out Of Last Two Tests Against India In Australia's Deepening Injury Crisis

Australia batter David Warner is out of the remaining two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy due to a hairline fracture on their left elbow, Cricket Australia has confirmed. Warner was substituted out of the second Test in New Delhi after sustaining a concussion last week. That blow came not long after the opening batter had been struck on the arm by another rising delivery.

However, the southpaw is expected to return for the ODI series later.

"Tables Have Turned": Ramiz Raja's 'Tailor-Made' Dig At Australia As India Retain Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Former Pakistan Cricket Board chairman and captain Ramiz Raja has claimed that it is impossible to beat the Indian team on their own soil. If it wasn't for Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja on Day 3 of the second Test at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium, Australia could have entertained hopes of squaring the series and reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. However, the spin twins managed to turn the tide in favour of the hosts as they cast a web around the Aussie batters, triggering a collapse. With the Aussies losing the plot and their wickets in a heap, the hosts were left to chase a paltry target to take an assailable lead in the series.
