Former Indian cricket team skipper Dilip Vengsarkar was extremely critical
of the Australian batsmen after the visitors were beaten comprehensively in
the second match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy on Sunday.
The first session of Day 3 saw Australia lose eight wickets for just
80 runs with most of them gifting their wickets while playing the sweep
shot. The sweep has been a preferred shot for foreign batsmen on Indian
soil as it allows them to navigate the spinners better. However, Vengsarkar
believes that the margin of error is too low and the Aussies lacked the
proper skill set.”The unfortunate part is, batting against spinners is an art, and
Australians are not used to playing good quality spin. Sweep could be an
important part of your game plan but also the margin of error is very
small,” Vengsarkar said.
