That is on the bowling attack though? It's not like all these hopeless touring batters are going out there and giving throwdowns either.When was last time a team dismissed India on a < 200 total in India in 1st or 2nd innings?
Answer this question before blaming Aussie bowlers.
I disagree, even with the terrible collapse, if Australian bowlers were able to provide more control and were able to get the last few 2nd innings wickets cheaply, India wouldn't have been able to be more aggressive with Ashwin and Jadeja in the 3rd innings. You can't just say X team can/should make Y runs regardless of the bowlers, it's not like the bowlers have no influence in how the batters make runs. Making runs in India against this current attack is the most difficult thing in Test cricket at the moment. That the Australian bowlers couldn't match that sort of effort by India is not really a mark on them, but it is what led to the result.True, but you also can’t bowl to 150 odd every innings.
You can’t consistently do it. If you try to you end up being the current South African team - a stack of world class bowlers with nothing to defend and you get belted.
If Aus makes even 200 in the second dig it’s a game. They were 2/85 then all out 110 or whatever it was. You can’t bowl to that consistently, no matter who you are. You need a total to bowl to just as much as you need bowlers who can take 20 wickets.
I’m not saying the Aus bowlers were great btw, just saying the greater of the failures in the last test by far imo was the batting. Even attacks with all timers won’t consistently bowl teams out for those sorts of numbers.
