What a disaster! Again the top order and the middle order batting collapsed. Australia domination continues on the second day as well. I have as of now zero hopes from Indian batters. Travis Head by the way has recorded his name in the history books. He became the first batter to score a century in World Test Championship followed by Smith. The third day would be crucial as we will be able to know where this match is headed. At the moment the road looks very bumpy and steep for India.
Though its too early to say but things are in favor of Aussies thanks to Smith and Head magnificent batting. Australia are good in all format since there are always batsmen and bowlers who can rescue in time of crisis. Australia were 3 for 76 on day 1 before Smith and Head stepped in. Indian team just came back after playing IPL and may be that's the reason there batsmen are unable to cope with test format requirement. India need to score 300 runs at least in first innings to remain in the game.
Today is an important day for India as they need to do something to lift up their team for this final ,they still have 5 wickets in hand and they can do good with just a strong partnership.
Australians definitely have their morale high they will come with high spirits to nail day 3.
