What was the reason behind Australian Defeat against India?

Former Australian Captain Michael Clarke has opined that it was the negative mindset that pegged Australia back in the test series against India.

According to the media reports, in a recent statement, the former Captain Michael Clarke said that, “I thought we might have been a tad negative at certain stages throughout because we were scared to lose versus attack hard and look to win the game.”

“At the end of the day, whether we lost with 20 overs left in the game or on the last ball of the game, it didn’t matter. We had to win that game to win that trophy.”

He added that, “I sort of feel we should have approached the first ball of that game to the last ball of that game with a bit more of that attitude.”
