Scott Boland achieved a remarkable feat, taking 10 wickets in a Test match for the first time, as Australia defeated India at the SCG.
Steve Smith 's quest for 10,000 Test runs falls one short, while Scott Boland 's love of the SCG grows with a 10-wicket haul. Scott Boland has bowled some of the most outlandish spells in recent Test history, but had not taken a five-wicket haul in an innings since his famed 6-7 in four overs on debut at the MCG in the 2021/22 Ashes.
He arrived at the SCG on day three on a pitch tailor-made for his bowling style with four second-innings scalps already to his name and four Indian wickets still available. Captain Pat Cummins threatened to rob Boland of his moment when he removed Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar. But Boland steamed in and nicked off Mohammed Siraj to complete his second five-wicket haul and ended India's inning by clean bowling Jasprit Bumrah to take 10 wickets in a Test match for the first time.Any target over 140 was going to be a challenge on this year's SCG pitch, so 162 felt more like 262 when Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja walked out an hour before lunch. Without the injured Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj took the new ball and sprayed his third ball down leg for five wides to start the scoring. Khawaja clattered a pull shot into the deep and Konstas launched him over mid-off as the first over cost 13 runs. The openers continued slapping the ball to all parts of the ground and were going at just under 12 an over at 0-35 after three, aided by some woeful bowling from Siraj and Prasidh Krishna that gifted Australia 12 runs off sundries. 'The bowling's been pretty ordinary … India are being very generous,' India great Sunil Gavaskar said on ABC Spor
