Australia batsmen scared against Indian cricket team

Nagpur, October 04: Australia stand-in head coach David Saker said that a lot of the Australian players are 'scared' while playing.

"A lot of them are playing a little bit scared, which we try not to do. We try and make sure they play with a lot of freedom and express themselves as much as they can. But when you're losing, you play scared, you go insular and you start looking after number one," Saker said.

"I think there are little bits of that. It's not dramatic and we know we can fix that. I think the talent is there."

"It's not mainly personnel, I think it's mainly just their mindset and where they are in their games," said Saker.
