Lack of goals from forwards remains an issue as India lose fourth consecutive game to Australia India’s 1-3 defeat against Australia on Friday certainly had some positive takeaways. But ultimately, it’s a fourth straight defeat and an upward trending performance graph shouldn’t take the focus away from the inability to win against Australia. (Hockey India) If your glass is half full, you could say the Indian men’s hockey team put up their best performance yet on the tour of Perth. If your glass is half empty, you could say Australia continue to be India’s kryptonite, a mystical force that keeps hitting them where it hurts.

And it must have made Indian players, eavesdropping as they walked past him into the dressing room for the half-time break, wonder how much quicker could the Aussies still get. It didn’t take long for them to discover. Australia, by then, were already 2-0 up in the first of the five Test matches in Perth. Minutes into the third quarter, they added two more and made it 4-0.
