Looks like the Aussie hangover is over Jasprit Bumrah It is not over even after the border-Gavaskar process between the two countries reached its climax in Sydney. Australian analysts and broadcasters still cannot get over the terror that Indian maestro Bumrah has created in the hearts of Australian batsmen and those watching him.
Mark Waugh highlights the striking similarity between the work of Jasprit Bumrah and Locke Ferguson
A rather funny incident happened Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 Which shows that Bumrah's shadow still scares Australians. During a BBL match between Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder At The Gabba, an unorthodox ball from Lockie Ferguson surprised the Heat batsmen.
However, the former Australian cricketer Mark Wu Who was at the commentary board could not let go of the delivery easily and immediately pointed out the similarity between Ferguson's slight limp in the lead-up before bowling with the delivery with Bumrah.
Ferguson has managed to surprise batsmen in the BBL this season with this move by taking the pace away from the previous period and outsmarting the batsmen as they wrongly anticipated the speed of the incoming delivery. Ferguson cast a magic spell as the Thunder clashed with the Heat in their 25th game of the season. He also achieved highlights in the same match by bowling sensationally to take out the bails Jack Wood's off off stump to return the heat opener to the pavilion after just two innings.
