The Australian captain Pat Cummins said at the post-match presentation, \u201cthe game moves quickly. You have to manage your tempos. Though India played well, their spinners will always be hard work when the wicket is spinning, and I thought Rohit showed his class. In that first innings, the door spun but wasn\u2019t unplayable. I would have loved another 100 runs and put more pressure on their first innings. Starting here is tough, but three or four of our guys got in and looked comfortable in the first innings. Those guys who do get in must turn it into big scores.\u201d The captain praised debutant Todd Murphy, saying, \u201cHe was fantastic on debut. He\u2019s been imposing. Bowled plenty overs.\u201d Todd Murphy impressively got seven wickets for just 124 in the first innings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
