Australia's star batter Steve Smith has praised pacer Scott Boland for his bowling on the second day of the World Test Championship (WTC) final at the Oval on Thursday
"I said it initially when Bazball started that I'm intrigued to see how it goes against our bowlers. I've said that all along," Smith said as quoted by ICC.
Australian attack ripped through India's top order to leave Rohit Sharma's lead side five down and still trailing by 318 runs at the time of stumps on Thursday.
Australia have dominated the majority of the opening two days of the 'Ultimate Test' at The Oval on the back of centuries from batters Travis Head and Steve Smith and outstanding bowling performances from their pacers.
Despite a comeback by Indian pacers, Australia strengthened their position in ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final as they dismissed both Indian openers in the second session of the second day of Thursday after scoring 469 runs
The 29-year-old right-arm fast-medium bowler reached this milestone during India's ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at The Oval.
Head was the star of the day, slamming the first-ever century in a WTC Final and hitting the first of his six Test tons to come outside of Australia, finishing on 146 unbeaten.
