Bumrah was fairly average I thought. His average is still decent enough I suppose, but he was down on pace, binned his yorker, and was over-reliant on the short stuff. Rarely got the outswing going too.

It's genuinely wild that Smith could make this team having made 10 runs in the first half of the series.

Yeah Smith and Labu made a lot of soft runs, especially the former, on easiest pitches of the tour to bat on.

None of the runs of Smith and Labu were soft.

Had it not been for them IND was winning 3-1 such was the abysmal batting performance of AUS

Lol @ people selling Bumrah short because of his final average which was ok but not outstanding. What the stats won't tell you is India's atrocious/comical fielding that cost him tons of wickets. The dude kept on asking questions with the ball to the point that he was bowled into injury.

Agreed. Soft runs imo come in dead tests. The series was very much alive when Smith and Labu made runs.
