IND vs AUS Test Series: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy being played between India and Australia (IND vs AUS) has been dominated by spinners till now. Especially the Indian spin duo R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have wreaked havoc in the first two matches of this four-match Test series. These two bowlers have taken 31 of Australia’s 40 wickets. However, this does not mean that the fast bowling of Mohammed Shami and Siraj has been colourless. This pair has also done amazing bowling in Nagpur and Delhi Tests.
In the first two matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Mohammed Shami got 7 wickets and Mohammed Siraj got one wicket. This bowling of Shami and Siraj on a fully spin-assisted wicket has been commendable. Siraj has definitely got only one wicket here, but the big reason for this is that only 18 overs have come in the entire series. Due to the spin track, Siraj was rarely bowled. The special thing here is that Siraj had sent Usman Khawaja to the pavilion on his very first ball in this series.
Shami wreaked havoc
Mohammed Shami must have got to bowl a few more overs till now. Shami bowled a total of 30 overs and took 7 wickets at an average of 14.42. On an average, he got one wicket every 26 balls. In the first innings of the Delhi Test, he even dominated the spinners. He took 4 wickets there.
Australian fast bowling remained colorless against Indian fast bowlers
Combined with Shami and Siraj, the Indian fast bowling duo has taken wickets at an average of 20.12, while Australia’s fast bowlers Cummins and Boland have a bowling average of 51. Here Boland got a chance to play only Nagpur Test and he could not get any wicket. While Pat Cummins was Australia’s only pacer in the Delhi Test. Pat Cummins could get only three wickets in both the Tests.
