Both Shami and Jaddu will miss the Eng home series now.

 

Aussies need to injure Bumrah, Ashwin now and Poms can hope for an upset next month. 

 

Don't care about this series now, just need to injure a few Aussie players. 

 

 

I am still puzzled at how they can relentlessly bowl that length and get the ball into the body, while our guys with similar pace are not able/willing to do it.  Is it too much effort, and given that we are already short on bowling resources, don't want to risk an injured back or something?

Prayers for Bumrah and Ashwin, match is gone, hopefully they don't get their bones broken.

 

I still have hope that our batsmen will hunker down and pull something off.  If RGS can do a Viru and Gill can stick around for 150-200 balls

 

... yeah the coffee hasn't kicked in yet :-).

I was surprised to see Bumrah bowl 16 hostile bouncers in 18 balls in the 2nd practice match. Both Bumrah and Shami bowled long spells and hostile bouncers in that match and expended energy while Starc and Cummins were resting. 

 

We injured Pucovski and Conway in the practice match and Burns in the first test.

 

But our pacers are looking tired in the 3rd test 2nd innings.

 

Now it is left only to Bumrah to injure and frighten the Aussies. The absence of Shami and Umesh is not helping either. This trio could have done this.

 

On our last Australian tour, both Bumrah and Shami injured the Aussies ... but Bumrah needs a hostile pace partner now, which is missing. Saini has the pace but is still too raw and lacking confidence.

Bumrah, Shami, Ishant combo did it in 2018-19. Injured quite a few Aussies. 

 

With 2 rookies in the team now, Bumrah is not going flat out. And the rookies are not there yet in terms of hostility. A fit Shami or Umesh would have helped.

They are familiar with the pitch and it's height bro. And yes India din't want to over exert due to an injury crisis. 

 

Aussie batsmen are mostly short too but they are good at sucking short balls. 

 

Their tailenders are tall so it's a little harder to bounce them I suppose?

I could not find any news article on latest status of Ishant's injury.  Hopefully, he would hv recovered before Eng series.   We need him badly. 

Ishant is going to play Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy under skipper Dhawan.

I miss Umesh the animal machine. He can be erratic but jee he has a good bumper.

highest 4th inning score in scg in last 20 yrs is 329.. by aus against india in 2004.

 

Firstly, it will take a huge effort from bowlers to even restrict them below 329 and then a monumental 4th innings chase from this batting lineup.. I will take a rain affected draw, plz

Almost 20 years since 281 180 6577.  We are due for a miracle again :-).

Not over exerting due to Shami, Umesh, Ishant's injury is the main reason.

 

The Aussies are trying to market the height factor but a 5'9" Shami has a much better bouncer than a 6'4" Hazlewood.

These Aussie batters of 2018-21 are pretty poor against good short balls.

Yes ... but Bumrah has dismissed both Starc and Cummins with quick bouncers. And hit Hazlewood and Starc on the shoulders.
