Australia captain Pat Cummins admitted that his team was neither "brave" nor "proactive" in their thought process which led to a comprehensive defeat in the first Test against India here on Saturday.
Australia were bowled out for 177 and 91 in their two innings with Ravichandran Ashwin (8 wickets) and Ravindra Jadeja (7 wickets) sharing 15 scalps between them in India's win by an innings and 132-run margin.
Asked what went wrong for his team, Cummins said: “Hard to know. That will be the review the next few days. I think everyone came with pretty clear plans. "The challenge is under the furnace to be brave enough to be proactive at the time. That will be the conversations over the next couple of days. We faced some pretty tough bowlers at times,” the Australia skipper said at the post-matchconference.
