As the days go by, the rivalry between Australia and India intensifies. The second Test match at the Adelaide Oval demonstrated this. When the southpaw had just achieved his half-century at a blazing speed, Mohammed Siraj dropped his catch, and Travid Head was in raging form. He proceeded to score 140 runs at a rate of almost one run per ball.
Mohammed Siraj destroyed Head with a dipping full toss just as the game was losing steam and each boundary was coming off his bat. In addition to getting his wicket, he sent off with aggression, which led to a verbal altercation between the two. When asked about the altercation and the behaviour of his players after
The game, Australia’s captain Pat Cummins responded, “They can do whatever they want.”
Sincerely, they are free to do what they please. I’m more concerned with our guys, and as usual, I thought their behaviour this week was outstanding, as it seems to be every week. Thus, I’m content with them. There I was. There is a lot riding on it because it’s a huge series, it’s hot, and the spectators have been there every day. Fox Sports cited Cummins as saying, “I think the umpires stepped in pretty quickly and that was the end of it.”
In relation to the match, Australia took a 157-run advantage after Head’s incredible century at his home field saw India bowled out for just 180 runs in the opening innings. However, India’s batting collapsed once more, setting a pitiful goal of 19. The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is set at 1-1 after the Australians won the game by 10 wickets. Beginning on December 14, the third Test will take place at The Gabba in Brisbane.
