After the second Test at Lord's, Border, known as "Captain Grumpy", slammed Australia's top three as "embarrassing" while telling Shane Watson to sort himself out, but he has had a change of heart.

The former Australia captain says Australia will gain confidence from their latest effort and keep the momentum rolling into the last two Tests.

The former coach is suing Cricket Australia over his sacking and failed to reach a resolution with the board on Wednesday.

Border says if he was part of Australia's top-six, he would be very embarrassed currently. Urges team to find best 11 and stick with it.

Warne, who said Warner had let himself and the team down, recalled how senior players had been a key factor in maintaining team discipline at the start of his Australia career.

Border, who is here as a TV commentator for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, said he had a good chat with Clarke on Thursday afternoon on the state of affairs in the Australian cricket.

Ex-Aussie batsman Darren Lehmann said he wants the management to act properly and take some good calls. Ex-Aussie batsman Darren Lehmann said he wants the management to act properly and take some good calls.
