India lose 2-3 against Australia in last game of Hockey test series

Published by Webster

Indian men’s hockey team failed to get a positive result in their last game of the Hockey Test series and lost 2-3 against hosts Australia on Sunday. This was a nightmare tour for India as they lost all matches comprehensively against a far superior opponent. Skipper Harmanpreet Singh (4th) and Boby Singh Dhami (53rd) were the goal scorers for India, while Australia sounded the board through Jeremy Hayward (20th), Ky Willott (38th) and Tim Brand (39th). India started the game very well and was attacking from the word go as Jugraj Singh and Jarmanpreet Singh combined in the Australian circle. India took the early lead in the fourth minute as Harmanpreet sounded the board from a penalty corner. Australia equalised in the 20th minute through Hayward, who scored his seventh goal of the series from a set piece. Seconds from the half time, Australia secured a penalty corner but Suraj Karkera kept India in the hunt by making an excellent save with his right leg to deny Hayward. In the second half, India started brightly …

India loses 1-2 against Australia in a tight contest

Published by Webster

Indian men’s hockey team continued their poor string of results after losing the third test match against Australia in the ongoing Hockey Test series on Wednesday. The Australian team came back from 0-1 down to score two goals and register their third consecutive win over the Indian team. However, India who lost 1-5 and 2-4 in the first two Tests, produced a much better show on Wednesday with the defensive unit leading from the front. Both Indian goalkeepers PR Sreejesh and Krishan Bahadur Pathak put on a brilliant show and made some audacious saves with the help of their defence. India dished out a good defensive show in the first quarter and didn’t give Australia any opening in the circle while PR Sreejesh saved all the penalty corners. Australia changed the tempo of the game in the second quarter and played fast-paced, attacking hockey to put pressure on the Indian defence, which produced a rock-solid performance. After Sreejesh, it was Pathak’s turn to show his heroics. He first denied Australia skipper Aran Zalewski with a …

India vs Australia, Hockey Test Series, Match 2 Live Updates: Harmanpreet Singh and Co look to fight back after 1-5 defeat | Hockey News

Australia produce passing masterclass to win Match 1 By the time the full-time hooter sounded, the scoreline read, from India’s perspective, an embarrassing 5-1. (Hockey India) Tempting as it is, it’s important not to get too driven by the scoreline. The purpose of this tour, after all, is to understand the opponent better. And if playing the five matches gives head coach Craig Fulton enough intel for the Olympics, the results per se become secondary. And one would expect India, who landed in Perth just a couple of days before Saturday’s match, to get better and at least play the fast, counter-attacking hockey that has become their signature.

India’s hockey team enters home stretch by taking on its kryptonite, Australia The conversion remains one of the top problem areas but another concern raised its head during the match. As was the case against Spain, their basic skills – trapping and passing – let them down.(Credit: Hockey India) The lessons for Craig Fulton from the Pro League largely centered around set pieces, on both ends. Defending penalty corners and keeping a high conversion rate in the set-piece situations is something that India have identified as an area to improve. Fulton is still in the process of finalising the squad for Paris, but instead of narrowing the list down, he has opted to go with almost the entire core group, with 27 making the cut for the Perth tour. He hasn’t hesitated to experiment with different combinations, but the objective will still be to beat the mighty Australia in Australia.
