Australia Great Devises Plan To Face Jasprit Bumrah Ahead Of MCG Test

Former cricketer Simon Katich has advised Australian batters to concentrate on rotating the strike and maintaining a solid defence to succeed against the peerless Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah. Katich noted that since Bumrah rarely bowls loose deliveries, the Australians must be strategically good in their approach. "I know all the talk is around having more positive intent, and I think that's all well and good and it is certainly something they have to be mindful of. But against someone like Bumrah intent is not about just blazing him for fours, because he doesn't bowl many bad balls," Katich told SEN 1116.

Do Feel For Nathan McSweeney, But Totally Understand Why Australia Dropped Him, Says Michael Vaughan

Former England captain Michael Vaughan said he does feel sad for Nathan McSweeney, who was dropped from Australia's squad for the remaining two Tests against India, while acknowledging the rationale behind the decision made by the visitors'. McSweeney opened in the first three Tests against India but made just 72 runs at an average of 14.40, despite not having opened previously in first-class cricket. On Friday, the Australian selectors dropped McSweeney to draft in teenage opener Sam Konstas. "I feel for Nathan, I think he'll be back - but I totally understand why Australia made this move. I feel for the kid, because of all the people that I've seen come into Test cricket over the last 10 years, I don't think anyone's been given a harder challenge.

The Australian 19-year-old opener Sam Konstas gears up for a potential Test debut in the iconic Boxing Day Test against India at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. His call-up, hailed as an “exciting” opportunity by cricket legend Mike Hussey, comes at the expense of Nathan McSweeney, who has been dropped after just three Tests—a decision that has sparked mixed reactions from players and pundits alike. McSweeney's omission follows a string of underwhelming performances since his debut last month, where he failed to surpass 10 runs in five out of six innings.
