The Australian team faced defeat in the second ODI of the ongoing five-match ODI series against India by 50 runs. The Men in Blue is leading the series with 2-0 and the third ODI is scheduled to take place tomorrow at Holkar Stadium, Indore. Though, the continuous failure the Australian opener David Warner today shut the speculations that the Aussies are facing difficulty to read the Virat Kohli-led side's spinners.

Warner told the reporters "I find that the players can read them. One or two of the players probably can't see the seam. Players react of the wicket. One needs to have a game plan against spin. When you lose wickets in clumps, one gets tentative. One has to apply pressure,"

He added "If you get off to a good start and the spinners come on, it is a different ball game. The tempo is different,"

"We have noticed in the last, sort of 12 months, we've had a batting collapse in both formats. So that is something that we are really going to try and you know work on and what is the answer to that, we don't know; that's just what happens in this game, you know. It will turn around and when it does turn around, it will turn around fast and very well," he said.

At the end, he said "We are trying to work, you know, towards this...obviously the next World Cup. We have got about 30 games and that was the same lead-up and preparation that we had with the previous team. We have to find a stable team and need to work out what's going to be the best (team) to try and defend the World Cup. So, at the moment, it's a work in progress,"

In the second ODI, the Indian player Kuldeep Yadav clinched three wickets. The Australian team in tomorrow's match will try to turn the table by winning the match.
