Starc felt the quicks still had a big role to play in the series, which has so far favoured the spinners. “It’s been a challenge in the last couple of weeks, the first two Tests,” he said. “We do see spin playing a huge part in this test series but the quicks have still played a particular role, whether it be with the new ball, if it does reverse-swing, and being able to bowl that skiddy ball and bring the stumps into play. “So there’s certainly an important role to play for the seam bowlers.”
‘Not unplayable’: Indian wicketkeeper Srikar Bharat said the turning wickets that have so far proven to be big challenges for Australia were not totally unplayable. Bharat scored an unbeaten 23 off 22 deliveries to take India home in the second test in New Delhi and said his mindset was to keep things simple. “The wickets aren’t unplayable,” said Bharat. “If you apply yourself and back your defence, there’s scope for a batsman to score runs. “At this level everyone intends to score, so shot selection is important on these turners. As a batsman if you’re clear with your shots, there are runs on these tracks.”
