There are a lot of things we need to address: Rohit

This week we were back to our best. That's the kind of team I remember and how we want to play our cricket PAT CUMMINS, Aus captain

ADELAIDE: It was either going to be a day when we would all marvel at the madness of Rishabh Pant or one where we would all go home early.

And when Mitchell Starc sent the left-hander back in the first over of the day, the writing was pretty much on the wall – we were going home early. India never recovered and lost their last five wickets for the addition of just 47 runs in 12.5 overs.

Australia skipper Pat Cummins was the star of the second innings – recording figures of 14-0-57-5 – and that should worry India even more as they go into the third Test, starting at Brisbane on December 14.

Australia came out to bat needing 19 runs and finished the job off without fuss. The match which had started with so much promise for India had ended in a whimper.

How does one go from a 295-run win in Perth to a 10-wicket defeat in Adelaide? Well, that is the game but there’s no doubt that India got a lot of things wrong in this match. Starc was brilliant in the first innings and his 6/48 destroyed India. Australia then got the runs on the board thanks to Travis Head’s brilliant 140 and it was something India simply had no answer to.
