Boxing Day Test: Day 1 in Melbourne will be crucial for India's chances in this series, feels Mark Taylor

India Today  

Former Australia captain Mark Taylor urged Team India to move on from the Pink-ball Test horror show and look to put as many runs on the board as possible in order to bounce back in the series when they face the hosts in Melbourne on Boxing Day. India trail 0-1 in the four-match series after going down inside 3 days despite taking a 53-run first innings lead in the Pink-ball Test in Adelaide last week. Which is why Taylor said India's best chance will be to put up a strong show in their first innings and then look to put pressure on the Aussies with their world-class bowling attack. They’ll have been working hard, firstly to put Adelaide behind them, and secondly to make sure they hit the ground running on Boxing Day,” Taylor was quoted as saying by Wide World of Sports.
