Normal text size Larger text size Very large text size Latest posts Latest posts Nathan Ellis … and the speed gun Taking the ‘axe’ to the Aussies By Jon Pierik Axar Patel was the star of India’s win on Thursday night, with a fine all-round performance pivotal in a 48-run win at Carrara. The visitors, ultimately, defended 167 with ease. The home team had done well to hold India to below 180, and were in control in reply at 1-67, but the wheels soon fell off. Patel claimed the first two wickets of Australia’s innings, and conceded only 20 runs from his four overs. This came after his late-innings 21 off 11 deliveries had given the tourists a decent score to defend. Ready to rumble: Jasprit Bumrah and Axar Patel.Credit: Getty Images When Tim David (14) fell, Australia was 4-91, but they lost 7-28 from that point. Josh Philippe (10) and Glenn Maxwell (2) were dismissed in consecutive overs, while Marcus Stoinis (17) and Xavier Bartlett were out off consecutive balls (2).
