Question On So Called Quality Bowling Of Australia!

There Was Hollowness In Batting*
♀[ 36 all out was an accident if not then why could they not make out India’s unspecialist batsmen in 60 plus overs ?]♀
Australia lost out the Border -Gavaskar Test Series against India two time consecutively. In 2018 the team Australia was under accidental skipper and without its two big and star inform batsmen yeah S Smith and D Warner. And there were inexperienced and unestablished batsmen in the team and due to that no depth in batting and throughout the series’s 4 Tests’ 8 innings Australia couldn’t score 350 plus. And that was the real reason behind the first ever lost series against india on their home soil. The bowling attack as ever so solid with quartet M Starc,J Hazelwood,P Commins and N Loyan. But that attack wasn’t of that cadre that could restraint the opposition under 250. It that was the main reason remained All responsible for Australia’s 1st ever lost series as the host on their land.
As the winner India was there on the land of kangaroos again under the same captain Virat Kohli. In the one dayer series the host Australia showed complete domination and won the series but India bounced back in the T20 series and made whitewashed by 3-0. But it was the Border-Gavasker prestigious Test series that was so much in awaiting . And all the fans home and India were so eager to watch the Test height and real taste . In the very 1st Test of the series in which the host destroyed india with sheer dominance and won the match . And after that as per the declaration not India’s captain only but the backbone of indian team’s batting was at aquital due to his life partner’s 1st issue or delivery. Now the charge of leadership was on the shoulders of vice captain A Rahane. Yeah yet another big achievement for
team India there in Australia but one of the biggest blow than the past win of 2018. Because there was the prior reason behind that defeat because the team Australia was with inexperienced cricketers and the accidental captain. Two star and inform batsmen were not in the action due to ball tampering guilt and banning. And Australia lost the series and the critics got chance to point out on the India’s series win. And this tour 2020-21 was considered so tougher for india because the host was with its full strength to have two star batsmen and one is world’s number one Test ranked. So series lost is a big questions for the Australian fans and it is inexcusable. For the loss of 2018 you had the pretext or ifs & buts but this time you have no pretend. There was no consistency shown by famous three-SWL . Yes Steve Smith remained highest run getter from his side but couldn’t play big innings that could set big target for the rival batsmen. D Warner remained flopped when the team required. Labudchagne played well but he could too not perform special when his team required. Thus these trio are in question and all responsible for series lost. The team Australia couldn’t score 400 plus in the 8 innings reveal all the misery. Against inexperienced and novice bowlers they remained ordinary is in question too.The indian team was without its star and formidable batsman and captain Virat Kohli. And above from it that the team was with the benched players. They were new and inexperienced but Aussies couldn’t handle them on their way for which they are known. The team Australia was with the same attack that played in the 2018 Test series . M Starc, J Hazelwood and P Comnins the trio of speedsters and known for their quality. But according to me these three have their limitations. They are not the level of D Lillee J Thompson and L Pasco. The worst fielding also remained equal responsible for this defeat. The fielders , wicketkeeper dropped catches at the critical stage. But the clean bowls manner is the most independent device to make batsman out. But for it the paceman must need sheer genuine pace over 100 mile. And also accuracy, stinginess. But we saw that these trio looked ordinary and helpless most of the time at the required crucial points. Aussies famous quartet’s number four is spinner N Loyan. He is just a fulfilment or supplement to finish over after over to take new ball. N Loyan hasn’t the class of C Gremate, R Banod and S Warne. Though playing spin bowling is a thing or game of boyish for the indian batsmen. So the fact is to mind that S Warne too remained ordinary against india. But this is just a postmortm . The history has taken place and scripted in favour of Ajinkya Rahane and company and Aussie Captain Tim Paine’s captaincy too remained in a question. He is an average class batsman and wicket keeper who could never lead the team with the front.
