Bradman stand

Former Australia: Former Australia captain noted India’s mistake in not deploying Jasprit Bumrah from the Bradman Stand end during day one of the second Test at Adelaide Oval. He suggested it would be interesting to see if India switched Bumrah’s bowling end for day two’s play.

Bumrah dismissed Usman Khawaja to end up with figures of 1-13 in 11 overs, but he didn’t get required support from other Indian seamers, as they didn’t attack the stumps much and bowled a bit short to allow Australia race to 86/1 in 33 overs at stumps on day one.

"I noticed yesterday when the game started, it was talked about that they had actually cut a little bit more grass off this wicket. What they did, they've actually scarified the surface as well. When you take a close look at the wicket, you can see some green strips that are going straight down the pitch.”
