Αν η κορυφαία ομάδα της Ινδίας δεν είχε χάσει wickets στον όμιλο, θα έπαιρνε ευχαρίστως την Αυστραλία χωρίς τον Josh Hazlewood.
Josh Hazlewood’s injury woes continued as the Australian pacer left the field for scans during day four of the third BGT Test at the Gabba. Hazlewood reported “calf awareness” during the morning warm-up and bowled just one over before exiting the field at the drinks break. The 32-year-old’s untimely departure came as a stroke of misfortune for Australia but was a missed blessing for India’s fragile top-order.
Australia miss Josh Hazlewood
Having already missed the previous Test in Adelaide due to a side strain—where Scott Boland filled in—Hazlewood’s presence was eagerly anticipated in Brisbane. And the right-arm quick delivered immediately, claiming the prized wicket of Virat Kohli early on. Kohli, who lacked runs, poked at a length ball outside off-stump, gifting Hazlewood his scalp and further denting India’s hopes of a solid start.
However, with Hazlewood potentially sidelined for the remainder of the day, India’s batters were handed a rare opportunity to regroup. Unfortunately, India’s top-order had already succumbed to Australia’s pressure. For a side looking to make the most of a rain-affected clash, India’s early collapse proved costly. KL Rahul remains the only bright spot, with Ravindra Jadeja also waging a battle.
