**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

[Heboric]

Marnus is legit the luckiest batsman alive. Only one comparable is Nicholls.

Still think Travis Head is the luckiest

 

[Gnske]

I haven't seen an Aussie batsman get hammered like this since Wade v Wagner

Or Clarke v Stefanovic. Maybe Clarke v Morkel third

 

[Burgey]

Head is going to bat like a tailender for 50 balls ,somehow not get out and end up getting 150 or something.

it's usually about 25-30 balls tbf but there is a bit going on here

 

[smellcricketintheair]

TBF Bumrah is NZ's bunny

could have improved his numbers if not for the dust bowls last month

 

[Gnske]

Good to see the dead weight is still the loudest sledger for India

 

[kevinw]

We've been talking up Hazlewood but Bumrah is next level.

 

[Starfighter]

We've been talking up Hazlewood but Bumrah is next level.

There's a reason he averages 20.27.

 

[Gnske]

Rana: short and wide to a left hander, why has no one tried this??

 

[capt_Luffy]

Its reassuring that Bumrah's is a NZ only problem

 

[Starfighter]

Third man in when? I mean, they've got him out here with it before, surprised they don't have one from the get go.

 

[Calm_profit]

Hard to judge a batting line up on a pitch doing plenty against Bumrah at his best. Aus late 90's would be struggling a bit here.

Yeah

could have improved his numbers if not for the dust bowls last month

Nope Bengaluru was not dust pitch

 

[Molehill]

If you're going to bowl that **** to Head, stick a 3rd Man in.

 

[OverratedSanity]

That is putrid

 

[social]

Rana: short and wide to a left hander, why has no one tried this??

Especially against Head

Struggles against straight balls but smacks everything wide

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Get Gary Stead to coach these guys on how to play Bumrah imo

 

[Dissector]

The only way India can win this series is if Bumrah takes something like 50 wickets at 15. Which honestly seems possible the way he is bowling right now but realistically this Indian team has too many gaps right now to be competitive.

 

[capt_Luffy]

If Head and Marnus pulls something akin to the WC Final here after both batting like this.....

 

[Burgey]

I think he's gloved that

 

[trundler]

We've been talking up Hazlewood but Bumrah is next level.

Possible to appreciate two players at once and it's not like Bumrah flies under the radar.

 

[Qlder]

Test could be over in 2 days at this rate..
