India needs to get better with old ball between overs 50-80: Morne Morkel

Bowling coach Morne Morkel on Sunday accepted that Indian bowlers failed to execute plans against Australian century-maker Travis Head and exhorted them to tidy up their act with the old ball between overs 50 and 80. Head and fellow centurion Steve Smith helped the hosts to clobber 171 runs in 31 overs in the third session on the second day of the third Test here, adding to a wicketless post-lunch segment.

But I think for us with the ball, if you look at it from overs 50 to 80, even in the last game, is where we fall short, leaking (runs) a little bit. So, that's one area I think we need to get better at, Morkel said in the post-day press conference. Morkel said the Indian bowlers could not sustain the momentum after taking three wickets in the morning session. First up with the ball this morning, we were pretty good, at 3 for 70, but took nothing away from two
