Translate In Arabic

Following Australia’s heavy 295-run defeat to India in the first Test match at Perth, Australian Chief Selector George Bailey faced criticism for shaking hands with Indian players after the match. Despite dismissing India for a mere 150 runs in their first innings, the Australian team faltered in their chase, leading to a significant loss. Bailey, who was seen mingling with both his players and the victorious Indian team, drew ire from some, including former cricketer Ian Healy, who expressed surprise at the gesture. Healy questioned Bailey's decision to approach the rival team in such a manner after a crushing defeat.
