NEW DELHI: The Australian group led by Pat Cummins is dealing with a lot of flak after the visitors lost the very first 2 Tests of the four-match series inside three days on the turning tracks in India.

Hosts India maintained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after two matches, with their spin-bowling duo of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja doing the maximum damage to the Aussies.On Wednesday, Australia great Geoff Lawson has blamed captain Cummins inexperience in leading a side on spinning tracks and assistant coach Daniel Vettoris inadequate inputs for the groups woeful performance.Australia lost the opening Test in Nagpur by an innings and 132 runs, while the second match in New Delhi saw the tourists fare a little much better but the outcome was the exact same-- a six-wicket win for India.Lawson, among the most feared Australian rate bowlers in the 1980s, said that Cummins has played so little Sheffield Shield cricket which has likewise contributed to the captains absence of strategising on turning tracks.

Cummo (Cummins) has so little experience captaining on spinning wickets, in the modern video game your captain plays very little Sheffield Shield, and he definitely doesnt use spinning wickets, Lawson said on SEN Radio.

So where does he learn to do all the creative and adaptable things you require to do? He doesnt, he simply gets thrown in the deep end and we watch a lot of videos and make choices, Lawson said.Lawson added that the Australian bowlers had no strategy on how to break the collaboration between lower-order India batters Axar Patel and Ashwin, which contributed to the hosts gaining psychological edge over the visitors, in the 2nd Test.Axar scored 84 and Jadeja 70 in the very first Test, while the former smashed 74 in the second Test and enjoyed a fruitful collaboration with Ashwin (34) to take the effort far from Cummins side.

When Axar Patel (is) having a collaboration with (Ravi) Ashwin (in the 2nd Test), were not exactly sure how we are going about breaking them down, those couple of partnerships have actually cost us 2 Test matches, added Lawson.Lawson likewise took objective at previous New Zealand spinner and the existing Australia assistant coach Vettori, questioning his inputs to the teams tweakers.

The man whos probably not copping as much as he must is Daniel Vettori who is among the terrific left-arm orthodox bowlers in the world, however he needs to be advising on how were going to bowl and how were going to bet that sort of bowling, Lawson stated.

He seems to have escaped a little bit of attention here due to the fact that when I see shots of the dressing space I believe, Whats Vettoris input here, hes the male who was a terrific sluggish ball.

He must possibly be having more input than most, Lawson said.With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy effectively retained, India will look to win the third Test in Indore from March 1 to protect a World Test Championship last berth.(With inputs from PTI)
