The headaches also continued for Labuschagne, who after being warned for negative leg-side bowling earlier in the day, was out lbw for three on the final ball of play to Bumrah. It ended a woeful match that yielded just five runs across two innings. Few could have predicted Labuschagne would bowl more overs than runs […]
If Jasprit Bumrah’s opening-day demolition of Australia’s batting brought the sublime to this Test match, then the sight of Marnus Labuschagne trying to bounce out India’s openers, before tea on day two, was the ridiculous. Talk about Labuschagne’s potential bowling role, including the short-ball tactic at speeds in the mid-130km/h range, had been a minor […]
Day one in Perth became an exploration of what constitutes regular and irregular in Test cricket nowadays, and when it was done, India had its strut back and Australia knew it had a series on its hands. At this rate, this series will be a five-Test whirlwind. India outgunning Australia in Australia, it has to […]

India A has been absolutely rolled for 107 in just 47 overs, with Queenslander Brendan Doggett (now plying his trade for South Australia) claiming a career-best 6-15 […]
Before New Zealand’s triumph, England won there in 2012, and Australia in 2004 – all in a similar time window. Last time India lost in February/March, when Australia now customarily visits, was in 2000 to South Africa. Before that, you have to go back to 1987 and Pakistan’s 1-0 win over five Tests for another […]
