Lucky to survive Bumrah spell, but nice to make runs against India: Head

Deccan Chronicle  

Brisbane: Travis Head is delighted to have notched up another hundred against India, but the Australian left-hander conceded that he was immensely fortunate to survive a fine spell from Jasprit Bumrah on the second of the third Test. Head's 152 was his third hundred against India in his last six innings, firing the Aussies to a commanding 405 for 7 alongside centurion Steve Smith. He's got brilliant wicket-taking balls," Head told the host broadcaster. The 30-year-old looked well set to make his maiden Test double hundred but he was not particularly unhappy to miss the milestone.
