Travis HydeThe love for Indian bowling continues gaba His second consecutive hundred for the visitors on Sunday made Australia’s first innings total in the second Gavaskar Trophy Border Test look condescending. brisbane.
After it rained on the first day, we started from Head (103*), Steve Smith (65*) On the fourth wicket, the Gabba were overwhelmed with an unbroken 159-run partnership that took Australia to 233 for 4 overs at tea time. On the first day of heavy rain, the team scored only 13.2 points, while the home team scored 28 points and remained unbeaten.
But the next day belonged to Hyde, following a match-winning 140 in Adelaide, with Jasprit Bumrahs’ double on Sunday morning setting up Usman Khawaja (21 ) and Nathan McSweeney brought the opener, who hit another 100 off 116 balls, including 13 fours. Nitish Kumar Reddy dismissed Marnus Labuschagne (12).
An interesting statistic about Head’s century is that it came after he had three consecutive golden ducks at the Gabba, a prolific venue for the left-handed batsman, scoring in his three firsts Before the ball, the knocks were 84, 24, 152 and 92 dismissals.
Hyde’s purple patch also found its way onto Smith, who has been desperately looking for an opportunity to feature in this Test match. But Hyde understandably took on the role of attacker and Smith scored 128 balls and 50 points.
Talking about Head’s performance against India, it was his third century in the last seven Test innings against Rohit Sharma with scores of 90, 163, 18, 11, 89, 140, 103*.
One of the most telling came in last year’s World Test Championship final, when he smashed 163 to defeat India and help Australia win. A few months later, he won the hearts of Indians in white-ball cricket with his match-winning knock in the ODI World Cup final.
