Konstas's knock certainly had an impact on the series but tbf by that point India were desperately fighting for survival in the series by the heels of Bumrah

Yeah I don't went to get bogged down by the debate on the innings impact. The point is Konstas approach did affected the innings momentum and messed with the main bowlers approach. Viv was like that X 100.

You won't get that with an accumulator.

Yes and because Konstas took on Bumrah in fairly decent bowling conditions they ended up having a good opening stand first time in the series.

Which would had worked if Konstas took the McSweeney approach as well. Bumrah wasn't bowling thrash because Konstas struck him

not sure about decent bowling conditions tbh, first test had one day where it was a minefield then flat, second test was pink ball, third and fourth were fairly good for batting imo, fifth was a minefield though

What is there not to believe in that statement? It all boils down to interpretation after all, two could see the same thing yet could come up with different opinions.

So it's not a big deal to not have footage then? Obviously I meant that part.

The only important thing was the runs he added. Had Australia had an opener who could bat long and scored those same runs, they would have been better. It didn't really bothered Bumrah much really, he was temporarily countered but that could had been done by sticking to the pitch as well. If 30 odd fast runs is enough to disrupt a team, that team was never in competition.

Mate konstas biltz took Australia to 90 runs in no time. If macsweeny was there it would have been 40-1 and aus would made just over 350 and who knows ind might have won the match. It was konstas who was difference

Also like, Australian opening in this India tour was really fragile and they were desperately searching for someone to just survive the initial Bumrah overs and not expose their middle order. In context, it's really not what Australia was looking for.
