Here's how Wide World of Sports graded the Australians after the Delhi debacle.DAVID WARNER - 2/10
Mohammed Shami hit him twice in the space of a few overs in the first morning - once on the elbow off a top edge, and then again under the grill, again off a top edge. Despite making it through the first hour, he never looked settled at the crease and looked particularly vulnerable to Shami's short ball. Was eventually undone by a straightening ball that moved away. It was a scratchy 15 that would have done nothing to silence the doubters calling for him to be dropped.
His 72-not out without a doubt rescued Australia's first innings, but his second-innings duck probably cost him a higher rating. It was a nothing shot - just kind of poking at Jadeja, which did nothing but give Kohli catching practice at first slip.With the bat, he was shocking. Falling for a duck in the first innings, and then played an even worse sweep in the second innings, at a time when - as the last recognised batter in the lineup - he really needed to stand up.
His 33 while batting in tandem with Peter Handscomb in the first innings was a brilliant reminder of what he's capable of with a bat in his hand. The skipper's bowling was OK too in the first innings - picked up Ravi Ashwin with the new ball, and he wasn't too expensive. But he didn't bowl himself at all in the second innings, even when it was clear Australia were cooked. I'm still not convinced he's figured out how to captain in India.
