The hockey matches against Australia were very tough and India is trailing 0-4 in the test series with todays match lost by India 1-3. With this it is not looking good for the hockey team as it against top teams losing the first 2 games by difference of 3-4 goals will severely dent the confidence. India had only won 8 matches against Australia and against top teams like Belgium, Australia and Netherlands lot of improvement is required with speed and game finishing to put any challenge in Olympics.
