MCG Test: India fail to cash in on Bumrah’s brilliance
Hindustan TimesMelbourne: As we head into a rare fifth day of a Test match, the promise of what is to come is enticing. India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah celebrates the wicket of Australia opener Sam Konstas on Day 4 of the MCG Test on Sunday. At close on Day 4 of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia were in command with a lead of 333 runs. The seam movement’s probably been the same.” Usually the pitch won’t suddenly right itself on the fifth day but would this mean that batting will be tricky for a fair bit of the fourth innings as well. And, ideally we would have liked to set India more in that game and probably bowl a few less overs, but because we had to win, we had to risk it a little bit more.” India still need to get the last Australia wicket and they wouldn’t want to get ahead of themselves.
