CRICKET Australia v India Summer

Bumrah is a brilliant bowler. He just realised Konstas has a huge weakness through the gate and three balls in the spot getting closer and closer and then through.
Think it started when he left that one over the top of off... might've remembered him getting bowled without playing a shot
 
These 7 overs have been almost unplayable. Balls beaten the bat like a dozen times and quite often beaten it by big margins.
 
Tricky situation for Australia here. We want to push on and leave enough time for our bowlers to rest but also have enough time and runs to get India out.
Pressure all on us to chase the win and could easily make ourselves vulnerable to a loss.
Terrific test match .
 
The chucker will probably run through us here
Posted this the other day, would love someone to run the protracter over this. Might be slightly more than 15 degrees.
Closer to 30 by the looks

Murali’s arm stayed bent throughout his action and it didn’t save him from accusations. Bumrah would attract a lot more scrutiny if he played for any other nation.

Imagine if India had a second gun paceman, they would be all over Australia I reckon. India is really missing Shami.

Australia have seen off the new ball though, so they will look to really cash in from about 20-30 overs I reckon.

That said, they look like they've switched gears suddenly.

Siraj came on... Aussies looking to cash in when he's on
 
See that? The ball exploded through the pitch there from Bumrah - that would be encouraging for Australia. The pitch might finally be starting to show some signs of life.
Going to be a tough ask given the workload they had in the first innings. Starc looks cooked; need Boland to have an all timer

Bumrah could get that movement on a road in Pakistan... bloke is unreal compared to everyone else playing

Yep for sure, though if the pitch is finally helping, that is good news.

On this point about Starc, I am looking forward to seeing Richardson most likely back in Sydney. He'll trouble India a lot with his ability to move the ball late.
 
Marnus must be way down the pitch... did not think that was going to be that high

Yeah it didn't look it live but then on the replay, it hit him above the knee roll and he was on his toes. I think him falling over a bit made it look lower than it was.

Australia would be getting encouragement from this though. Both Cummins and Boland are capable of doing something at about 80% of what Bumrah is doing here with what seems to be a bit of a helpful pitch now.
 
Credit to Labs and Khawaja too though, a lot of lesser bats would have been out 10 times already.
