Australia not hunting as a packAustralia’s injury worries were no match to India’s, yet their frontline attack of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon were unable to blow a depleted Indian XI away after the Adelaide Test. While Cummins and Hazlewood combined to take 38 wickets in the series, Lyon and Starc managed only 20 wickets in total.

Lyon was cleverly negated by the Indian batsmen, and wasn’t a big threat on wearing fifth-day pitches. Australia ended up relying on two bowlers primarily and the fifth bowler was under-utilised. … [Read more...] about 36 all-out to 2-1: key factors in India’s defiant comeback in the 2020-21 Australia tour
