NEW DELHI: For most of the pink-ball Test in Adelaide, India's pace attack looked fractured. Every time Jasprit Bumrah operated, the edge returned. The only occasion where the Indian vice-captain seemed to have some support at the other end was when a face-off with Travis Head inspired Mohammed Siraj and he finished with a four-wicket haul. But for the most part, Indian pacers couldn't use the pink ball to their advantage, even under lights. It has left India to mull over the bowling combination for the third Test at Gabba, beginning this Saturday.
There are no two ways about the fact that India need to take a look at the formation of their attack, while knowing that it will remain pace-dominated, especially at a venue that always has pace and bounce on offer. But there are few important points to ponder before any changes are considered.
