**Official** 5th Test at Sydney, 3-7 Jan 2025

SkyBlue

U19 Vice-Captain
He didn't turn the series around but his inclusion gave a lift to the side and allowed guys like Khawaja, Smith, Labuschagne etc to play more freely

Not acknowledging that is being a little bit disingenuous imo

He looks a bit out of depth at his level right now but rattling Bumrah and getting under the skin of the Indian team was probably worth it from an Australian pov
 

Shady Slim

International Coach
This match is moving at a ridiculous rate even without Konstas. Really due to lots of 4-balls rather than crazy #intent.
in fairness you’ve got india’s #3 and #6 seamers here who had to open and they’ve given their team a bit of a shout (despite bowling a bit of dross), both of them need a rest though.

if anything just for a change of bowling tempo
