Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh acknowledged that Indian pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah continues to haunt him, having been dropped midway through the series against India due to poor form. The West Australian recalled how his nephew ted bowled with an action similar to Jasprit Bumrah, reminding him of his nightmare.
The 33-year-old had a forgettable outing in the recent Test series against India at home, with Bumrah dismissing him on three occasions. With Marsh managing only 73 runs in four Tests with a best of 47 and question marks rampant over his fitness, the selectors decided to bring in Beau Webster for the final Test.
Speaking at the Australian cricket awards in Melbourne, Marsh said:
“My little nephew Ted is four years old. We played backyard cricket one day, and he came in with Bumrah’s action, and the nightmare continued.”
