Australia's Batting Woes: Inglis Calls for Run Revolution

Australia's stand-in captain Josh Inglis emphasizes the need for Australian batters to prioritize putting runs on the board after a historic ODI series defeat against Pakistan. The loss sparked criticism and highlighted issues in Australia's batting approach, prompting reflection ahead of forthcoming matches.

Australia's stand-in cricket captain, Josh Inglis, has emphasized the urgency for the nation's batters to accumulate runs consistently, regardless of their playing style. His call-to-action follows a historic 2-1 ODI series defeat to Pakistan on home soil, where the reigning ODI World Cup champions were outclassed in Perth.

The Australian camp finds itself engulfed in an air of disappointment, with critical discussions dominated by the underwhelming batting performances. Ian Healy has previously critiqued the Australian batters for having a 'big ego,' remarks that had not encapsulated the gravity of the situation until recently.

Inglis, in a post-match conversation, admitted his disappointment, noting that after a promising start in the first match, the team failed to perform with the bat. Australia, having set off strong, succumbed to pressure, losing crucial wickets and faltering in the subsequent ODIs despite valiant efforts by players like Pat Cummins.

The second and third ODIs saw Australia unable to surpass the 200-run mark, falling short at 163 and 140 respectively. Inglis expressed intentions for improved performance in future engagements, including upcoming T20Is against Pakistan and the Border Gavaskar Trophy against India. (ANI)
