Australia captain Tim Paine has shouldered the blame for the SCG draw in his post-match interview with Fox Cricket, admitting his drops let the team down badly."It's a tough one to swallow, particularly given my situation."Just didn't hold our catches - I've got to cop the blame for that, wear it and look forward to Brisbane.India skipper Ajinkya Rahane was naturally delighted with the result, which keeps the series locked 1-1 heading into the Brisbane decider.
Rahane added that Rishabh Pant's injured arm "is alright" and he will back up in Brisbane but Ravi Jadeja puts him in doubt."Injuries we can't control," Rahane said.
Congrats India, well played
Steve Smith hasn't learnt his lesson. Caught cheating once in India, then SA and now again today. Australian team will never change, cheap and cheat at all cost to win
Paine and Starc should never play for Australia again
Being from the United States, I’ve started learning the game of Cricket. Was that a tough watch or a great match?
Opportunity lost Australia, but what a gutsy performance from India AUSvINDtest
Boring.
Aussies definitely missed the sandpaper there
