His response to the question was, “You probably have to ask one of the batters that question. I’m sort of relaxing and trying to get a bit of physio and a bit of treatment, and I’m probably looking mostly towards the next Test and what plans we can do against these batters.”
“I guess the batters are just sticking to what they do, their preparation. They’ll have a hit in the morning and talk around plans of what happened in the first innings, how they can negate that and move forward and improve on that,” he added.
On the finish of Day 3 within the Perth Check, Australia have been 12 for 3 of their chase of 534 runs. They have been finally bundled out for 238 and India went on to win the sport by 295 runs.
