Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Jamie Murphy relishes son Todd’s fifer on debut

The Hindu  

Having had a certain Shane Warne as his teammate a little over three decades ago for St. Kilda, the famous Melbourne club, Jamie Murphy knows more than a thing or two about spin bowling. So when Craig Howard, a bowling coach, saw Jamie’s teenaged son Todd rolling him arm over as an offspinner in 2016 and insisted he should stick to it, Jamie went by his word. Cut to Friday, the ‘convert’ offspinner, with just seven First Class caps to his name before being selected for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, became Australia’s second-youngest debutant to pick a five-wicket haul. He sort of gets in and gets liked by everybody.” Hailing from countryside in Victoria, the Murphy household used to drive down to Melbourne - a three-hour one-way drive - regularly for Todd’s training and games during his formative years.
