Cricket: Both Sam Konstas and Cameron Bancroft both went for ducks for Australia A, while Marcus Harris also fell early with 17 runs
Ducks for Aussie opener contenders | 01:10Batsmen have forgotten how to defend in Test cricket because of the T20 game, India coach Gautam Gambhir said Thursday ahead of the third and final match against New Zealand .
India’s famed batting, led by skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, has flopped in the series including the hosts’ 46 all out in the first innings of the opening Test. “Foundation of your batting in Test cricket has to be defence,” said Gambhir. “Probably a lot to do with playing on flat wickets in T20 cricket,” he added. “We will have the same issues with a lot of other teams as well because the more T20 cricket is played, the less people will start defending.” New Zealand beat India at their own game of spin for a 113-run victory in the second Test with Mitchell Santner returning a match haul of 13 wickets.
