Michael Hussey explains the reason behind Australia’s poor form on the India tour

The former Australian batsman believes that their T20 cricket is responsible for Australia’s disastrous batting collapse in the 2nd Test against India.

Australia lost the 2nd Test between Australia and India in Delhi by 6 wickets and the 4-match series 2-0. The Australian batsmen struggled against the Indian spinners and suffered a massive batting collapse in the first session on Day 3 of the second Test.

Former Australian batsman Michael Hussey has also expressed his views on Australia’s disastrous second innings batting collapse and blamed T20 cricket for it. Michael Hussey said, “Yeah, a lot. I mean we’re seeing more of it in those short-format games. We see breakaways and different types of different shots that we never saw 10-15 years ago.”

“It’s when you pick. It’s a good shot to have in your arsenal, but it’s about playing it at the right time under the right conditions against the right type of bowlers. I don’t think they got it right”, Hussey added.

இந்திய சுற்றுப்பயணத்தில் ஆஸ்திரேலிய அணியின் மோசமான பார்முக்கான காரணத்தை மைக்கேல் ஹஸ்ஸி விளக்கினார்

இந்தியாவுக்கு எதிரான 2வது டெஸ்டில் ஆஸ்திரேலியாவின் மோசமான பேட்டிங் சரிவுக்கு அவர்களின் டி20 கிரிக்கெட் தான் காரணம் என்று முன்னாள் ஆஸ்திரேலிய பேட்ஸ்மேன் நம்புகிறார்.

டெல்லியில் நடைபெற்ற ஆஸ்திரேலியா – இந்தியா இடையேயான 2-வது டெஸ்டில் ஆஸ்திரேலியா 6 விக்கெட் வித்தியாசத்தில் தோல்வியடைந்து 4 போட்டிகள் கொண்ட தொடரை 2-0 என இழந்தது. ஆஸ்திரேலிய பேட்ஸ்மேன்கள் இந்திய சுழற்பந்து வீச்சாளர்களுக்கு எதிராக போராடி இரண்டாவது டெஸ்டின் 3 வது நாளில் முதல் அமர்வில் பெரும் பேட்டிங் சரிவை சந்தித்தனர்.

ஆஸ்திரேலிய அணியின் முன்னாள் பேட்ஸ்மேன் மைக்கேல் ஹசியும், ஆஸ்திரேலியாவின் இரண்டாவது இன்னிங்ஸ் பேட்டிங் சரிவு குறித்து தனது கருத்தைத் தெரிவித்ததோடு, அதற்கு டி20 கிரிக்கெட்டுதான் காரணம் என்று குற்றம்சாட்டியுள்ளார். மைக்கேல் ஹஸ்ஸி கூறினார், “ஆமாம், நிறைய. அந்த குறுகிய வடிவ விளையாட்டுகளில் நாங்கள் அதை அதிகமாகப் பார்க்கிறோம். நாங்கள் 10-15 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு பார்த்திராத பிரிந்து செல்லும் மற்றும் பல்வேறு வகையான வித்தியாசமான காட்சிகளைப் பார்க்கிறோம்.”

“நீங்கள் எப்போது தேர்வு செய்கிறீர்கள். இது உங்கள் ஆயுதக் களஞ்சியத்தில் இருப்பது ஒரு நல்ல ஷாட், ஆனால் சரியான வகை பந்துவீச்சாளர்களுக்கு எதிராக சரியான சூழ்நிலையில் சரியான நேரத்தில் அதை விளையாடுவதுதான். அவர்கள் அதை சரியாகப் பெற்றதாக நான் நினைக்கவில்லை”, ஹஸ்ஸி மேலும் கூறினார்.

Jaswar Umar, President of the Football Federation of Sri Lanka, has officially submitted his nomination to contest for the presidency of the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.

Umar becomes the fourth candidate in the race, joining Shirantha Peiris, Deva Henry, and Asanga Seneviratne, who are also contesting for the top position in the country’s Olympic body.

His time as football chief has created divided opinions among sports professionals who evaluate his performance. On one hand, Sri Lanka’s national team has shown improvement in international results, including a rise in the FIFA rankings from 204 to 191, along with notable performances against stronger opposition.

However, his approach has also faced criticism. Stakeholders have raised concerns over the increased reliance on Sri Lankan-origin overseas players, with claims that it has limited opportunities for local talent. The long-term vision for developing youth and building grassroots football programs has become a subject of public inquiry.

Umar now aims to advance his career through NOC while he leads Sri Lankan football with both positive results and ongoing public criticism of his work.

The upcoming election will become a competitive battle because four candidates will vie for control of a key position which holds major power within the country’s sports system.
