'Stop preparing for 2030...': Shastri exposes 'serious' AUS concern after Perth loss; Clarke, Vaughan's scathing attack

Hindustan Times  

Cricket legends showed no mercy to the Pat Cummins-led Australia as the hosts succumbed to a humiliating 295-run loss on Monday against India at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Vaughan, speaking to Fox Cricket, said that India's performance exposed an underlying issue in the Australian team, particularly on the batting unit, who were folded for 104 in the first innings and managed 238 in the second. While the loss in Perth left many Australian cricket experts yearning for the return of injured Cameron Green, Vaughan outlined that the current best XI of the team does not have enough suitable back-ups pushing them to go harder for big scores in every match. The standards generally get driven in a team because you’ve got many players pushing for places in it – I just don’t see too many doing it. Former Australia batter Clarke was left fuming Sky Sports’ Big Sports Breakfast as he lashed out at captain Pat Cummins for not utilising Mitchell Marsh enough in the second innings as a bowler.
