What would have been pleasing to see is the way the Indian absorbed sustained Aussie pressure (including 4 consecutive penalty corners) and held the solitary goal lead for good twelve-thirteen minutes before prolific Blake Govers, who did late damage in the first Test, evened things up late in the opening quarter with a rasping tomahawk.

These men were extremely fast on the hockey turf.
Hockey is an extremely fast-paced game. The 60 minutes in the game is always high-octane. As a player you cannot afford to slow down for one second or else the opposition will make you pay.
