Shell-shocked, Australian legends Allan Border and Matthew Hayden have lambasted Pat Cummins and Co for their second innings collapse against India, where pre-determined sweep shots led to their downfall.

Former captain Border felt Australia panicked and none of the batters tried to defend. "I'm disappointed, I'm shell-shocked, I'm angry about the way we went about our work today," Border said on Fox Cricket.

"They were just getting out playing sweep shots, reverse sweeps to just about every ball."
