India vs Australia: <\/strong>\u201cWe didn\u2019t execute greatly with the ball,\u201d Abbott said. \u201cAs soon as we missed the stumps, we were punished.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the early departures of Matt Short (9) and acting captain Steve Smith<\/strong><\/a> (0) off successive deliveries, David Warner (53) looked good before succumbing to Ravichandran Ashwin in bizarre fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facing up right-handed to negate Ashwin\u2019s off spin, Warner \u201cswitched\u201d into a left-handed reverse sweep, clearly bottom-edging the carrom ball into his pad, all while tumbling over, and was adjudged lbw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a long discussion with partner Josh Inglis, Warner, incredibly, opted not to review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The great Ashwin castled a flummoxed Marnus Labuschagne (27) with an arm ball before trapping Inglis (6) plumb in front. Green\u2019s horror day ended in amateurish style, run out for 19 by India wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan after lazily plonking his bat over the crease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia\u2019s tail wagged with a thrilling 77-run ninth-wicket stand between Abbott (54) and Josh Hazlewood (23), who both notched career-highs.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a difficult batting wicket in the end,\u201d Abbott said. \u201cFacing their spinners, they were ragging it both ways. Ashwin and [Ravindra] Jadeja on that wicket, especially Ashwin … tremendous skills spinning it both ways as a finger spinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe asked me if I was picking them and I said \u2018no chance mate\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ashwin (3-41) and Jadeja (3-42) were able to extract significant turn on a surface which looked benign earlier when Indian pair Shreyas Iyer (105) and Shubman Gill (104) put on 200 for the second wicket after being sent in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After raising his ton, Iyer survived a caught-and-bowled shout on video review when a diving Abbott, while plucking a right-handed screamer, scraped the ball on the ground, similar to Mitchell Starc\u2019s contentious non-catch at Lord\u2019s which earned England\u2019s Ben Duckett a reprieve in this year\u2019s Ashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stand-in skipper KL Rahul belted 52, then came the \u2018SKY\u2019 show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dashing Suriyakumar Yadav (72no) crunched the first four balls of Green\u2019s eighth over for 6-6-6-6 and hit six maximums in total in his thrilling 37-ball cameo, leaving Australia stunned and India assured of entering the World Cup with the No 1 ranking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
