NEW DELHI: Indian bowlers were urged to improve their performance with the old ball between overs 50 and 80 by bowling coach Morne Morkel, who acknowledged on Sunday that they had not carried out their plans against Australian century-maker Travis Head.
On the second day of the third Test in Brisbane, Head and fellow centurion Steve Smith contributed to a wicketless post-lunch segment by helping the hosts smash 171 runs in 31 overs in the third session.
