‘Underrated for how tough he is’: Starc playing hurt as Boland flags pitch issue that may hurt AussiesDecember 28th, 2024 7:37 pm
The veteran quick, who bowled brilliantly at times in the first three Tests, appeared in discomfort at times and could be seen reaching for the middle of his back after bowling. He finished the day at 0-86 from 25 overs.Source: News Corp Australia “He’s okay. He just had a bit of a niggle somewhere in his back or rib, I don’t know, somewhere back there, but he came out after the break and was bowling 140km/h, so I think he’s going to be fine,” Boland said.
After a late flurry of wickets sparked by Yashasvi Jaiswal’s run-out on Friday saw India start the third day on 5-164, Reddy batted beautifully to frustrate the Australians on Saturday. Quizzed as to whether the pitch will spin on Day 5, which would bring Nathan Lyon into the equation, Boland said there was still decent grass cover on the pitch.“I think there’s a … decent amount of grass on there, so I’m definitely hoping it spins a lot more, but I think hopefully there’ll be some variable bounce just as the Test match wicket gets a bit more tired. That’d be ideal for us as a bowling group.
“Hopefully tomorrow morning, we get that first wicket and then build on that and put on a really nice lead and see how the game plays out after that.”
