India vs Australia Test Series: Wounded Aussies need a pause

Australia are in utter disarray after their no-show at Kotla, and with Hazlewood and Warner’s injuries adding to their misery, the week between now and Indore offers a tremendous window for introspection

Tuesday was the scheduled final day of the second Test at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. By then, skipper Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood had already returned to Australia, the latter ruled out of the rest of the series, and arrangements were being made for veteran opener David Warner to fly back home with his family, the left-hander having possibly played his last Test match.
Little illustrates the disarray in the Aussie camp better than the developments of the last two days. Cummins is slated to come back in time for the third Test in Indore from March 1, but Hazlewood (Achilles) and Warner (fractured elbow) will have to settle for sitting on their couch and hoping their teammates can somehow summon the resolve and fortitude to bounce back from two crushing defeats that have extended their wait to lay their hands back on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
