It looks like the Aussie hangover jasprit bumrah it is not over even after the Fronter-Gavaskar action between the two nations reached its climax in Sydney. Australian pundits and broadcasters still can’t get over the terror Indian pace master Bumrah inflicted on the hearts of the Australian batsmen and those watching him.
Mark Waugh highlights a striking similarity between the action of Jasprit Bumrah and Lockie Ferguson
A rather hilarious incident occurred in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 which shows that Bumrah’s shadows still scare the Aussies. During a BBL match between Brisbane Heat i Sydney Thunderstorm at The Gabba, an unconventional delivery from Lockie Ferguson took the Heat batsmen by surprise.
However, former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh whoever was on the commentary board couldn’t let the delivery go easily and immediately pointed out the similarity between Ferguson’s slight limp at the start before he bowled the delivery with Bumrah’s run.
Ferguson has managed to surprise the batsmen in BBL this season with this move picking up the pace in the opening phase and beating the batsmen as they mis-anticipate the speed of the incoming delivery. Ferguson had a spell as the Thunder met the Heat in the 25th meeting of the season. He also made highlights in the same match by bowling a sensational delivery to take his bail Jack Wood‘s off stump to send the Heat opener back to the pavilion in just 2 runs.
