Rory'll Be Happy Watching This!
England's opening batsman, Rory Burns, who spoke highly about Jasprit Bumrah and the difficulty of tackling him, would find solace in the BCCI video, above.
Bumrah has hit the headlines with his impersonation of former India captain and the country's most successful leg spinner, Anil Kumble.
However, starting February 5, Burns will be compelled to focus hard on the various angles from which Bumrah bowls his usual fast deliveries.
Bumrah, who made his Test debut on 5 January 2018 in South Africa, will be playing his first Test on Indian soil.
Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami's continuing absence from the Test team due to injury means Bumrah will spearhead India's attack with Ishant Sharma.
"He's quite a hard man to prepare for, isn't he? He's obviously unique in terms of how he comes and bowls. We'll just be working on those angles, try to work our way on seam and swing and those sort of things and try to replicate that as best as we can," Burns said.
It's clear, England's thinktank will be doing plenty of homework on Bumrah and ways to counter him. Doing so would help them in their goal of piling up big first innings totals, a strategy they feel will aid them in avoiding a huge series defeat in India.
Now Lens On Langer Over Australia's Defeat
An inexperienced and injury-hit India's heroic series victory, few days ago in Australia, continues to be dissected and researched.
While the impact of India's win is generating relentless positivity, the Aussies seem to be sliding into the negative.
The latest to come under the lens of scrutiny is their coach, Justin Langer, who is reported to be prone to mood swings and possess an overbearing approach when dealing with players.
A News.com.au report says that players preferred turning to assistant coach Andrew McDonald for advice as they felt frustrated with Langer.
This news report does not elaborate the source of the "explosive report", but also highlights an incident when Langer fumed at a player who was trying to sneak onto the field a toast sandwich.
Langer could be spared for his anger on this one, considering the 'scruffy' past incident Australia's players have been involved in.
