His left knee has minor swelling due to increased joint loading from his bowling workload
His temperament is his greatest gift, and both Sam Konstas and his friends expect him to profit from it if he makes his Test debut come Boxing Day

Not since the days of Richard Hadlee has one fast bowler carried an attack like Bumrah has in this Border-Gavaskar series. At 1-1, it's time for India's other bowlers to step up
