In
the
match,
Smith
was
Australia’s
second
highest
run-scorer
in
the
first
innings
with
37
runs.
In
the
second
innings
he
top-scored
for
the
visitors
and
stayed
unbeaten
on
25
before
India
bundled
out
Australia
for
91
to
win
the
match
by
an
innings
and
132
runs.
Speaking
on
Fox
Cricket
after
the
match,
Border
slammed
Smith’s
on-field
antics,
and
called
for
Australia
to
“play
hard
nose
cricket”
against
Rohit
Sharma’s
men.
“Play
with
a
harder
edge.
I
mean,
we’re
giving
blokes
the
thumbs
up
when
they’re
beating
us
outside
the
off
stump,”
Border
said
on
Saturday.
“What
the
hell
is
going
on?
That
is
just
ridiculous.
“Don’t
go
stupid,
but
Australia
play
hard
nose
cricket.
“We’re
even
giving
someone
thumbs
up
…
bloody
hell.”
Carey
has
defended
Smith,
stating
that
the
batting
mainstay
often
does
“all
that
stuff”.
He
added
that
Smith
has
a
cordial
relationship
with
many
players
in
the
Indian
team.
“He’s
(Border)
played
many
games
of
cricket
over
here
and
he’s
a
fantastic
leader
for
Australia,”
Carey
said.
“I
guess
among
the
group,
guys
do
it
differently.
We
come
up
against
these
players
a
lot.
“He’s
mates
with
a
lot
of
them.
And
that’s
the
way
he
(Smith)
plays.
He
does
it
in
all
situations.
He
plays
around
with
his
hands
and
does
all
that
stuff.
And
I
think
that’s
probably
what
gets
him
pretty
focused.
“They’re
obviously
strong
comments
but,
as
a
group,
we
believe
in
what
we’re
doing
and
come
the
second
Test
we’re
ready
to
put
a
few
learnings
into
place.”
The
second
Test
match
between
India
and
Australia
starts
from
February
17
in
Delhi.
A
win
in
the
match
will
see
India
retain
the
Border-Gavaskar
Trophy.
