Tall Poppy Syndrome: O'Keefe Slams 'unjustified' Criticism Of Aussies After Huge Loss In Perth Test
Perth Test: Former Australian bowler Steve O’Keefe has defended the Australian team after their disastrous 295-run defeat against India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series opener in Perth and criticised the public reactions to the loss, calling it “unjustified”.
Australia faced a heavy blow in the opening match of the five-Test series, with India taking the early advantage with a 1-0 lead. The hosts' batting has come under scrutiny, with the team being bowled out for 105 and 238 in their two innings.
The Australian media was critical of the humiliating loss in Perth and used titles like 'Perth-etic Humiliation' and 'Monster Loss' to describe Australia's biggest loss.
