Facing a massive deficit against India, Australia struggles on day 3 of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Josh Hazlewood admits to a tough day for the bowlers as India piles on the runs with centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli.
Facing a near insurmountable task against India , Australia can hope only to find some positives in Perth with a view to being more competitive in Adelaide after another disastrous day in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the hosts. After a day where dashing opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and India n icon Virat Kohli scored centuries before Jasprit Bumrah again wreaked havoc with the nation’s top-order, Australia n fast bowler Josh Hazlewood said the goal in Perth now was to find form and rhythm.
Australia will resume at 3-12 in its second innings, 522 runs behind India, with two full days of cricket remaining. Whether the First Test lasts a fifth day is extremely doubtful given the pitch at Perth Stadium is starting to deteriorate as cracks emerge.Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer.One of the few Australians to live up to their world-best reputations in Perth, Hazlewood was left to front the music on Sunday night after Australia was comprehensively out-performed yet again. Resuming at 0-172, India added another 315 runs before declaring at 6-487, with Jaiswal starring with 161 and Kohli unbeaten on 100. Quizzed as to whether it is one of the hardest days he has endured in the field in his 70 Test career, the 33-year-old responded; “It’s up there.” “I think it probably speaks for itself. They piled on the runs and had a couple of really big partnerships there,” he said. “It was hard work out there bowling it at certain stages. There was a little bit in it at times. I guess the new ball probably has a little bit, but if you get through that, then it’s a bit easier batting. “We saw a little bit up and down towards the end of the day, obviously, so that’ll be something the batters will be watching tomorro
