NEW DELHI: Australia's lessons from the Perth defeat are evident in their batting approach at Adelaide Oval, where they have smartly recognised the lack of consistent support for India's bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and decided to see him off to minimise the damage.
Bumrah bowled 11 overs on the first day, and the Australian batters were happy to give him the respect, scoring just 13 runs in his spell, while limiting him to just the wicket of Usman Khawaja (13) despite bowling in pink-ball-friendly late-evening session under the lights.
