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

He had a couple of mammoth nightwatchman innings for Victoria back in the day. Lyon's gonna make more runs but I'd be half tempted to even bat Boland ahead of Starc sometimes if there's a set batsman in, as long as the batsman trusts Boland and there's not a lot of time pressure in the match to consider.
This one was over ten years ago but it still sticks in my mind. 51 off 212 batting 5 in the first innings.

Going to be a surprise if bumrah doesn't have a bad injury tbh. Pace looked way down and for him to be captain and take himself off the field relatively quickly speaks volumes.

Yeah it doesn't sound good, if a bowler has to go to hospital for scans it usually doesn't have a good outcome, you don't go to hospital for a twinge.

It would be a real shame if he can't bowl again in the second innings but he already has the Player of the Series wrapped regardless, he's been huge.

Not surprising to see Bumrah break after carrying the team for so long

Rohit ran him to the ground in the last test. No chance of India winning if he doesn't come back.
