India's stinging 10-wicket defeat to Australia in the latest installment of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy duel would have led to a lot of soul searching within the visitors' camp. It has also prompted unsparing reactions from experts and fans who were expecting a better display in Adelaide, especially after the heroics of the first Test.

Australia bounced back emphatically from their massive 295-run defeat in Perth, with Player of the Match Travis Head바카라s fabulous 140 runs off 141 balls the standout performance and the difference between the two sides. The home team's seamers too delivered a masterclass in helpful conditions, with Mitchell Starc (6/48 and 2/60), Pat Cummins (2/41 and 5/57) and the returning Scott Boland (2/54 and 3/51) showcasing their brilliance.

As the series stood level at 1-1, former cricketers Matthew Hayden and , who have both played starring roles in yesteryear BGT series, reflected on India's performance in the pink-ball Test. 바카라Team India just did not bat well enough, there바카라s no doubt. 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,바카라 Hayden said on Star Sports.

The towering southpaw also provided his take on India바카라s bowling performance in Adelaide. He said: 바카라Bowling I thought, on average was pretty good. When you thought of the freakish innings that Travis Head played, 140 off 141 deliveries that was just something else. Sometimes, batsmen have their way.바카라

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: 바카라One area where India would like to improve is the partnerships. We need to have big partnerships. We didn바카라t get a good partnership in Adelaide because of which we did not have enough runs on the board. If we have 300-350 on the board then our bowlers have the capability to bowl them out.바카라

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