I think he’s got a huge chip on his shoulder. If it were one of the Indians behaving like him, you’d be calling him a scumbag.

Theres about 6 Indians who have behaved much worse than him on this tour

It’s been a great series. I’m heading out tomorrow

Does Bumrah win Player of the Series even if India loses the series ??

He should imho as he has been the best player in the series

Does Bumrah win Player of the Series even if India loses the series ??

I’m thinking so. 31 wickets next best Cummins with 21. Head has most runs 410@58 which is good but not earth shattering for mine.

Reckon he might come in for some damage 2nd innings. His bowling is servicable and he got nice movement but they treated him with way too much respect today

On a different pitch he could go for plenty at this level, but that’s where you need to manage your all rounders, as they often go for runs on a batting pitch.
He did a fair job today better than Boggy, so let’s see if he can score some runs.

Australia have been the better side over the whole series, which makes Bumrah's series even more special. He has solely kept India in it. He deserves man of the series

Yes.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Does Bumrah realize he can't mess with Konstas? Yes.

 

[Stevec]

Really dumb of CA to come up with a green seamer when all we needed was a win or a draw .
So now draw is out of the question so its win or India retain the trophy
The BCCI make sure all pitches are doctored to suit
But we just do ??

Kawashja. Apologies for spelling. Had a good spell. Time to go. Always playing off back foot. Confidence shot. The younger ones should be allowed to have a crack. The politics of cricket.

Bumrah than daylight for man of the series. Best bowler in world cricket by some distance and seems a likeable sort of bloke.

He seems to bowl 90% of the overs from one end and the blokes operating at the other end have struggled so it’s understandable why he takes so many wickets. Where the Australians bowling has been a team effort.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

But not Konstas. Best batter on the planet against the best bowler. And Galvin seems to have the edge. Sorry. Did I say Galvin? I meant Konstas

No.

One says yes. One says no. The other says - WGAF

It’d be 5-0 if Bumrah played for us.

Would be a tragedy if he didn't. Head and shoulders above every other bowler in the series, particularly when the wicket starts to flatten out. Cummins is runner up due to his bowling, tough batting and captaincy. Without Bumrah the series is decided before the Sydney test and doubtful the record Melbourne attendance numbers would have eventuated.

Yep. Daylight second.

I am no expert on pitch preparation, but not much time to change the pitch after knowing the Melbourne result?

So nothing to do with weather? Just betting? It makes sense.
