Scott Boland is on fire, ripping through the Indian batting lineup in the decisive fifth Test against Australia. With Rohit Sharma missing from the Indian lineup, Boland capitalizes with early wickets.
Australia is on the hunt for wickets after India opted to bat first at the SCG, with captain Rohit Sharma not part of the tourists' XI for the decisive fifth Test. This around-the-wicket angle has the left-handers battling. Boland could have had all 10 by now if a few more of these edges had connected. And the fielders held their catches.Good grief. Jadeja missed that there was a no ball and assumed the over was done, so called for new gloves. The umpires tell him he can't do that mid-over.
Nitish Kumar Reddy hangs the bat out at a wide short one off his first ball and sends a simple catch Steve Smith's way, and this time he pouches is. Scott Boland came within a blade of grass of getting two in two earlier today and he has it this time.This is a more traditional and perfectly excusable attempt at a pull shot, but he is just not picking them out there and top edges it straight to Pat Cummins at mid-on.Scott Boland now has 3-19 in his 16th over. Rishabh Pant's rough series continues, not because of his choices this time, but simply his inability to execute.Jadeja his having a big old swig of water not three overs after his last drink as Beau Webster waits at the top of his mark. This has been exhausting all series. We complain about over rates from the bowling team, but the batters are at least half at fault.Another big inside edge from Rishabh into his pads. A lot of movement off the seam away from Rishabh to beat the outside edge. The Indian keeper looks baffled out there.Another absolute ripper from around the wicket. Looked like that swung after it bounced and beat the outside edge of Jadeja. He clips off his toes and finds the gap between mid-wicket and mid-on for two. That's well manipulated. Jadeja drops the ball by his feet and tries to take off for a quick single, apparently forgetting who he's batting with. Sam Konstas and Nathan Lyon sprint in as Jadeja lingers over the ball outside his crease. He gets back as Konstas soccers the ball into the stump
