It is very difficult to predict the batting performance of the Australian team's batsmen in relation to the first Test match. However, it is true that the Australian team's batsmen can stay at the crease with patience on day 2 and bat, then they will be able to create a chance to lead the score higher than expected against India. Hopefully, the Australian team players will be able to surprise the cricket fans against India in this second Test match. Cricket fans also always expect to enjoy constructive matches and tough series.
India got a strong start today, but then wasted it as Ravichandran Ashwin and Harshit Rana failed to properly backup the opening bowlers (Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj). In particular, Rana was extremely wayward and expensive. Australians look quite comfortable out there after the initial wobble, when Nathan McSweeney and Steven Smith got out in quick succession. Marnus Labuschagne look comfortable out there. He has really dug in, and from the other end Travis Head is becoming more aggressive.
