Australia A vs India A: India A team haunted by an ‘unknown’ bowler named Michael Neser. Team India, now preparing for the Border Gavaskar Trophy, finds a difficult situation against the Australia A team. Michael Neser himself took 4 wickets and missed a hat-trick. Ball slips away from the Aussie wicketkeeper Cameron Bancroft’s gloves, denying a hat-trick for Neser.
The top order of the India A team, playing this unofficial Test match under the captaincy of KL Rahul, looked completely flop on the first day. Alam was that four batsmen of the team had returned to the pavilion on the score of 11 runs. The bat of Abhimanyu Easwaran (0), KL Rahul (4), Sai Sudarshan (0) and Ruturaj Gaikwad (4) was completely silent. However, thanks to Dhruv Jurel’s 80-run innings, the team managed to add 161 runs in the first innings. Devdutt Padikkal and Nitish Kumar Reddy contributed 26 and 16 runs respectively.
34-year-old fast bowler Michael Neser broke the back of the Indian batting order while bowling amazingly. The pacer hunted down four Indian batsmen in his bowling of 12.2 overs. Abhimanyu Easwaran, Sai Sudarshan, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devdutt Padikkal were shown the way to the pavilion by Nesar on his balls. Apart from them, BU Webster took three wickets. Scott Boland, Nathan McAndrew and Nathan McSweeney got one success each.
Abhimanyu Easwaran – 0
Sai Sudharsan – 0
KL Rahul – 4
Ruturaj Gaikwad – 4India – 11/4
