With Australia suffering its one of heaviest defeats at home soil with the 295-run loss against India in the opening Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) at Perth, former Australian wicket-keeper Ian Healy has called out Australia’s chief selector George Bailey for shaking hands with the Indian team post the loss and spending time in the Australian dressing room. Bailey, who has been the chairman of selectors since 2021, was seen shaking hands with the Indian team post one of Australia’s heaviest defeats in terms of runs at home soil.
“He went out and shook hands with everyone, he did the whole shaking hands in a conga line. I would be thinking if I’m an Indian cricketer, ‘What do I need to shake your hand for, you’re the chairman of selectors? I just want to hurry up and get this win celebrated’.” Healy said on Sen Cricket.
The commentator also termed Bailey’s time as ‘limited’ if the Australian team suffers another defeat in the Pink ball test at Adelaide starting December 6. “I’m a little bit more sympathetic, I’m willing to cut him a slack, but maybe if we’re going down the same path in Adelaide, then I’ll tell you what his time might be limited,” said Welsh.
