Cricket: Stick or twist? Australia digests Perth mauling

India's 295-run victory was sealed inside four days at Perth Stadium on Monday, shattering Australian confidence that Pat Cummins's team could halt the long run of series losses at the hands of the game's financial superpower. If the humiliation of India being able to declare their second innings on 487-6 reflected poorly on the bowling unit, it was the Australian batting line-up dismissed for 104 in their first innings that bore the brunt of the blame.
