IND vs AUS, 3rd Test: It was a real fighting partnership from Bumrah and Akash, says Australia assistant coach Vettori

The Hindu  

Australia’s assistant coach Daniel Vettori asserted that enforcing the follow-on was always on the agenda. “There was a desperation to get that final wicket and we thought we had a really good chance when Jadeja was dismissed, but it was a real fighting partnership from Bumrah and Akash.” Asked if rearguard action by India surprised the Aussies, Vettori was quick to deny: “Any batter on any given day can step up and deliver. I think Akash is better than the number 11.” Dealing with an injury-crisis related to Josh Hazlewood, Vettori explained: “He is pretty despondent. “I think the weather allowed us to operate in terms of the breaks, it allowed Mitch and Pat to be able to come back on multiple occasions, whereas if we had played out the full 90 overs, it would have been tougher.” Vettori added that first innings runs were crucial while the weather can still affect strategies: “The first innings runs were going to be vitally important and you don’t really want to plan for the weather.
