In India bowling out Australia for 474, as Steve Smith top-scored with 140, left-arm spin all-rounder Jadeja picked 3-78 in 23 overs while off-spin all-rounder Sundar, brought in for Shubman Gill in the playing eleven, bowled only 15 overs and took 1-49. Both Jadeja and Sundar got to bowl only after 40 overs were done on day one\u2019s play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI thought the bowling was pretty ordinary. They ran out of ideas, India. Spin wasn\u2019t used as much as it should have. It took a gap of 40 overs before Jadeja was introduced into the attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt took a long time for Washington Sundar to bowl his first over. So when you\u2019re playing two spinners, you have to ask the question, why did you play two spinners? What was the need if you don\u2019t trust them?\" said Shastri on Star Sports.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also called India\u2019s bowling performance ordinary and pointed out that they looked bereft of ideas in stopping a sparkling Australian batting performance. \u201cI think India ran out of ideas. There\u2019s absolutely no doubt about that. Because what Australia did was, there would have been a game plan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cLet\u2019s make sure we don\u2019t lose too many wickets in that first 45 minutes. Try and get another 50 runs on the board. They were 311 for 6. Their first aim would have been 350. But the rate at which they scored the runs made the job far easier,\" he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Legendary India batter Sunil Gavaskar felt the second new ball was 'wasted' by India's bowlers. \"Pretty ordinary blowing. If you have to bowl a bouncer, you get it around the helmet's badge and not around the waist.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI'm very disappointed, I'm sorry. This new ball had been wasted. Akash Deep was all over the place. He wasted the new ball by bowling way outside the off stump. The Indians had also been sloppy in the field,\" said Gavaskar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
