Travis Head made a defiant 89 but it was not enough to prevent the tourists winning by 295 runs and taking a 1-0 lead in the Border-Gavaskar series
India's paceman Jasprit Bumrah celebrates the key wicket of Australia's Travis Head on day four of the first Test in Perth.India's paceman Jasprit Bumrah celebrates the key wicket of Australia's Travis Head on day four of the first Test in Perth.It’s funny to watch a day of Test cricket in which nothing matters. Not that any day of cricketmatters, if we’re honest, but a day when the play doesn’t even make a difference within the match itself.
This beating feels different, because after bowling first Australia were totally on top. South Africa at the Waca in 2016 is the closest equivalent, but even then the visitors made a halfway decent 242. This summer’s visitors were all out for 150 within two sessions on day one. The postmortems that write off this Australian team as destined for the scrapheap will brush over the quality of that performance. It was as good as fast bowling in tandem gets, backed up by brilliant fielding.
