23 November,2024 02:31 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentTeam India's lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah has earned a place among the list of best of all time on the back of his stellar performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy's opening match against Australia. With his sheer pace, Jasprit Bumrah set the Perth track on fire which made the Aussies wrap up for 104 runs. With his temperament, Bumrah set the tempo of the innings by making the ball obey his will. He consistently bowled in the corridor of intensity to wreak havoc and put India in a dominant position.

Also Read: Jaiswal, Rahul's unbeaten 84-run stand puts India in strong position at tea on day two India's Jasprit Bumrah holds the second-highest bowling average on the list of bowlers who have a minimum of 150 Tests. With 178 Test wickets, Bumrah has a stunning average of 20.16, only bettered by England's legendary right-arm fast Sydney Barnes's bowling average of just 16.43, according to ESPNcricinfo. During his illustrious career, Barnes picked up 189 scalps in just 27 appearances. The 30-year-old Indian quick bettered former Australian star Alan Davidson's stunning Test bowling average of 20.53. During his career, Davidson scythed 186 scalps in 27 appearances for the Baggy Greens. Bumrah's magic in the first innings ended with figures of 5/30 in 18 overs.

By using bounce on offer to his advantage, Bumrah forced out a thick edge from Alex Carey to get his 11th Test five-wicket haul on Day 2 of the opening Test.

23 November,2024 12:53 PM IST | Perth | PTIMikyle Louis and Alick Athanaze fell agonizingly short of maiden centuries as the West Indies rallied from 25-2 to reach 250-5 against Bangladesh on the first day Friday of the first test. Louis was out for 97 and Athanaze on 90 after sharing a dogged 140-run partnership for the fourth wicket. At stumps, Justin Greaves was 11 not out and Joshua Da Silva 14 not out. Louis shared a 59-run partnership for the third wicket with Kavem Hodge (25) which steadied the West Indies innings after captain Kraigg Brathwaite (4) and Keacy Carty (0) fell early to the bowling of Taskin Ahmed. Louis and Athanaze then came together to wrest the advantage on the first day to the home team which had been sent in after losing the toss. Louis was the senior partner for most of the fourth-wicket stand but as he became bogged down in the 90s Athanaze became the more assertive batter. Athanaze was 49 when Louis reached 90. When Lewis was out 25 balls later for 97, Athanaze was 88 and scoring freely. Athanaze reached a chancy half-century " his third in tests " from 85 balls with six fours. When he fell in the 78th over with stumps approaching, he had 90 from 130 balls with 10 fours and a six, the last 40 runs from 45 balls. Louis was dropped on 90 by Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz at first slip from the bowling of Taijul Islam, a chastening experience which seemed to make him more cautious. Also Read: IND vs AUS 1st Test: Australia bowled out for 104 runs, India set to lead by 46 runs He stepped back to cut a short ball from Taijul but simply guided to the left of Mehidy, who extended his hand but couldn't hold the catch. From then on, Louis advanced to 94 with a boundary off Hasan Mahmud, then to 97 with singles. He reached his half-century with care and concentration from 104 balls, eclipsed his previous highest score in tests of 57, and seemed set to go on to a century in his sixth test. But he fell three runs short. Clearly affected by frustration, he charged a ball from Mehidy which sat up enticingly outside off, intended to hit it down the ground but instead edged to Shahadat Hossain at slip. "Initially the pitch had an element of moisture so it was difficult at first for the pair opening the batting," Louis said. "As it went on it got a bit easier, the ball started coming on a bit better. Just unfortunate I couldn't get to three figures." Athanaze approached his century with a feeling of inevitability, looking on top of the bowlers. But at 90 he tried to sweep a ball from Taijul, mis-timed his shot and the ball popped from a top edge to wicketkeeper Litton Das. It was the second time in four innings Athanaze has been out in the 90s. He was out for 92 against South Africa in August. Earlier, the first session belonged to Bangladesh as the West Indies went to lunch at 50-2. Brathwaite was trapped lbw by Taskin in the 14th over and Carty was bowled for a duck two overs later. Hodge was run out by Taijul's throw from fine leg as he attempted a second run when the West Indies was 84-3 in the 38th over. Taskin took 2-46 as the most successful of the Bangladesh bowlers.

23 November,2024 10:21 AM IST | North Sound (Antigua) | AP | PTIOn day two of the IND vs AUS 1st Test, Team India captain and lead pacer Japrit Bumrah completed his 11th five-wicket haul in the longest format of the game. With Harshit Rana striking the last wicket, Australia's first innings was wrapped up for 104 runs in the IND vs AUS 1st Test. For Team India, captain Bumrah registered five wickets for 30 runs, followed by Mohammed Siraj and Harshit Rana who claimed two and three wickets, respectively. Also Read: IND vs AUS 1st Test: Marathi Pandal arrive with Dhol Taasha at Optus Stadium The struggle for the hosts was absolutely visible on day two of the IND vs AUS 1st Test. The side managed to add just 37 runs to their overnight score of 67 runs. Mitchell Starc played a gritty knock of 26 runs which was the highest score for the hosts in their first innings. Jasprit Bumrah snapped the first wicket on day two of the IND vs AUS 1st Test on the very first ball of his over. He dismissed wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey for just 21 runs and the Australian was able to score just two runs to his overnight score. The skipper's celebration was understated as he purposefully strode back to his bowling mark even before Nathan Lyon had arrived. At the other end, Bumrah started the day with burly Harshit Rana (3/48 in 15.2 overs) carrying on from where he had left off on the opening day. Unlike on the opening day, the rookie speedster used more short balls, and one such well-directed delivery accounted for Lyon, who was pouched at gully by KL Rahul. India were all out for 150 from 49.4 overs at the stroke of tea on Friday. Brief Scores:India: 150 all out in 49.4 overs vs Australia: 104 all out in 51.2 overs (Alex Carey 21, Mitchell Starc 26; Jasprit Bumrah 5/30, Harshit Rana 3/48, Mohammed Siraj 2/20).

23 November,2024 07:59 AM IST | Mumbai | Gordon D’CostaAustralia’s senior pacer Mitchell Starc on Friday played down the chatter around India batter KL Rahul’s contentious caught behind dismissal on the first day of the opening Test here, saying it was a “regulation wicket”. Rahul’s dismissal kicked up a controversy with former players from both countries questioning the third umpire’s decision to overturn the on-field official’s not out call. After on-field umpire Richard Kettleborough ruled in Rahul’s favour following Australia’s appeal, the home team used DRS to challenge the decision. Third umpire Richard Illingworth, however, overturned the call despite not having the benefit of a split-screen view which would have given him a clearer picture of whether the Starc delivery actually grazed the bat or the snicko responded to a hit on the pads. Also Read: From intimidation to admiration, Perth crowd embraces Indian Test team “It got overturned obviously, but I thought it was regulation, the sound it made, the timing of it, I thought it was just a regulation wicket,” Starc said at the press conference after the day’s play. Early breakthrough Starc (2-14), who bagged the opening wicket of the series when he removed Yashasvi Jaiswal, will resume on six not out alongside wicketkeeper Alex Carey, who is unbeaten on 19, on Saturday, with Australia at 67-7 after India made 150 in their first innings. A staggering 17 wickets fell on the opening day, a record on Australian soil, but the leading pacer believed batting is going to get easier in the second innings and they just need to survive the new Kookaburra ball. “I think there was a fair bit of good bowling today. Obviously, there was enough in the wicket and it probably felt like it was a hardball wicket,” Starc said. “When the ball started to get a little bit softer towards the back end of that Indian innings, it probably didn’t do as much. [There was] still enough there, but it didn’t do as much as the brand new hardball. “So I guess that’s something for teams to take in the second innings. Slow outfield “If you can get through the testing period, it does get slightly easier. That being said, the outfield is quite slow, so that probably made runs a bit hard to come by. That’s probably the slowest outfield we’ve seen over in the west for a long time.” This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.
