Australian players lack killer instinct: Allan Border | Cricket legend Allan Border has said that the Australian players lack killer instinct, as England took total control of the second Ashes Test at the Adelaide Oval. Australia struggled with the ball yet again, rarely finding a consistent
line and causing England 's batsmen few problems, but Border suggested the bowlers
were not entirely to blame. Fox Sports cricket expert Border said: "We are knocking
the bowlers, and I think that's fair enough because they are lacking the ability
to break through." "But the bowlers weren't helped by the fielders. It was a very
uninspired performance and there just doesn't seem to be a spark or any aggro.
This afternoon there was a bit of laughing and banter going on with Kevin Pietersen
and I thought to myself that this isn't good," he said. "We are not playing like
Australia should be playing. We lacked spark to back the bowlers up," FOX Sports
quoted Border, as saying. Australia dropped at least three chances and even some
of their ground fielding, which has been such a hallmark of recent Australia teams,
was sloppy at times. Border said Australia 's batsmen set the standard for inadequacy
on day one by posting a score he thought was "100 to 150 runs short of par".
