Ravi Shastri was concerned by India’s inconsistent bowling assault on Day 2 of the third Test against Australia in Brisbane on Sunday. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, who took five wickets, all of India’s bowlers struggled on a day when Travis Head and Steve Smith dominated. Australia finished 405 for the loss of seven wickets, and the former Indian cricket team head coach was disturbed by how poorly some of India’s bowlers performed. Shastri stated that consistency is critical for Indian bowlers when playing in Australia, adding that only Bumrah had “done things right”.
“They were giving away runs on both sides,” he explained in an interview with SEN Radio. the name “Bum has done a lot right, but I think when you look at the others i think, ‘Can they execute?'”
together, on day two of the third Test against India, twin century-makers Travis Head and Steve Smith put a stunning fourth-wicket stand as Australia reached a dominant 405-7 before stumps on Sunday.
Head scored a scorching 152 and Smith a gutsy 101 at the Gabba in Brisbane, putting Australia ahead 2-1 in the five-Test series. With rain anticipated for the next three days, India has little chance of winning the match and can only reasonably hope for a draw.
After all but 13.2 overs of the first day were rained away on Saturday, India started well, taking three wickets in the first hour. Despite a magnificent spell from speed spearhead Jasprit Bumrah (5-72) with the second new ball after tea, Head and Smith led India out of the contest.
“The way he can put the bowlers under pressure from the start is incredible,” Smith said of Head, who smashed a dazzling 140 in Australia’s massive second Test triumph. “It’s good to work together with him. “The scoreboard changes so quickly.” Alex Carey had 45 points at the end of the game, while Mitchell Starc only had 7.
