WTC Final Day 2: India's response to Australia's 469 in shambles

Deccan Chronicle  

London: The fascinating thing about cricket is its uncertainty. The problem for Team India was that the balance between bat and ball seemed to differ depending on whether its two best seamers Md Shami and Md Siraj were bowling, or their support pace men. They got the early breaks that tilted the scales back a bit, with century makers Travis Head and Steve Smith, the obsessive occupier of the batting crease, back in the hutch with young Cameron Green falling in between to a great ball and even better catch in the slips. And yet Australia, seizing the moment after digging in and playing stodgy Test cricket for two sessions of Day 1, exploited Indian bowling weaknesses to pile on the runs post-tea on Wednesday and consolidated its position on Day 2 with Alex Carey carrying them to a very respectable total, not gigantic but more than useful in a ground with long boundaries. Regardless of how clumsy he may make it all seem with his gestures and his eccentric mannerisms, Smith is one of those committed Test match players who believes in occupation of the crease, reminding all of the old saying of John Milton sagacity that “even they serve who only stand and wait”.
