NEW DELHI: Australia fought back strongly to claim the third match on an Indore pitch that offered vicious turn and variable bounce after being hammered by India inside three days in the first two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar trophy.
And Australia head coach Andrew McDonald said they sought in Indore by "doubling down" on what they had set out to achieve initially after admitting that visiting teams need to be "near perfect" to challenge India in their own backyard.
