Canberra: The Indian bowling attack remained toothless during the fourth One Day International (ODI) against Australia here on Wednesday. Keeping apart the mammoth total (348/8), one should also notice how effortlessly the speedsters were taken for a ride.
Taking a leaf out of the ODI, one instance fully confirmed that the pacers lack sheen. It is when Glenn Maxwell reverse swept an Ishant Sharma delivery (close to 140 kmph) that reached the boundary.

Maxwell tore apart Sharma and Umesh Yadav through extra cover, mid-off and all around the park.
The hard-hitting Maxwell, who scored a match-winning innings (96) at Melbourne, slammed a 20-ball 41 here.
He also used the pace of the bowlers – that lacked a uniform line and length – and threw his bat at it.
