IND VS AUS: Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood’s post-match comment has sparked a debate already about division in the team. Following the humiliating 295-run loss at Perth, Hazlewood has blamed the batters for the poor show during the first Test.
“I guess the batters are just sticking to what they do, their preparation, they’ll have a hit in the morning and talk around plans of how what happened the first innings, how they can negate that and move forward and improve on that,” Hazlewood said to the media.
Stunned by the remark, former English captain Michael Vaughan has said that he is appalled by Hazlewood’s comment.
“I must admit, I’m staggered by that. Josh Hazlewood is a great bowler, terrific team member. Publicly, I’ve never heard an Australian come out and kind of divide the camp into batters and bowlers,” Vaughan said on Fox Cricket.
Not just Vaughan, former Australian great Adam Gilchrist was also shocked to hear Hazlewood’s comment.
“That to me tells me there is potentially a divided change room. I don’t know if there is. I might be reading too much into that,” Adam Gilchrist.
India have moved to the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) standings after completing a monumental 295-run win over Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opening Test.
After 0-3 whitewash loss to New Zealand at home earlier this month, India needed to win at least four of the five matches in the Border-Gavaskar series to guarantee a place in the WTC Final took the first crucial step with a monumental victory over in Perth.
