'They weren't going to the Gabba': Australia captain Tim Paine says India good at 'niggling' and 'creating sideshows'

Hindustan Times  

Australia captain Tim Paine has taken a shot at India, saying the Indian cricket team are good at distracting the opposition with things that 'do not matter'. Paine's comments came in connection to the final Test of the 2020/21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Gabba in Brisbane, which Australia lost by three wickets, allowing India to seal the Test series 2-1. Australia captain Tim Paine says India refusing to go to Gabba acted as a distraction for Australia. During the 2018/19 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India had beaten Australia also by a 2-1 margin to register their maiden Test series win in Australia.
