India head coach Anil Kumble sprung in action to his team's defense after Indian batting lineup fell cheaply to Australia's inexperienced left arm spinner Steve O'Keefe to be bowled out for 105 and concede a big first innings lead at the end of day two of the first Test on Friday.

The Ace leg spinner said any team, including India which is having a glorious 19-Test unbeaten streak, was bound to have one bad day even in this successful phase.

Kumble rued the missed catches by his team which gave three lives to opposition captain Steven Smith to remain unbeaten on 59 at stumps.

"We would like to restrict them to as little as possible. We dropped a few catches. Especially in this game you need to hold your chances even if half chances. We dropped Steve Smith on couple of occasions, that has certainly pushed us back" he said.
