MELBOURNE: India's morning-and-a-half at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Friday (27 December) felt like an endless drag. Not that we haven't seen many under Rohit Sharma's captaincy already, but this one was a step ahead as the visitors just let the game slip away and had a terrible period with the ball. The tactics were all over the place as Australia's lower-order was given the license to pile on the runs, and misery, on this hapless looking bunch.
Mohammed Siraj continued with his consistency of being inconsistent, Jasprit Bumrah continued to carry the burden of a billion hopes and Rohit continued to look short on confidence, and ideas.
