Australian lost the first two Border Gavaskar Trophy Test matches after being dominated by the hosts.
In both matches, India did not give Australia a chance to come back. The first game was won by an innings and 132 runs, and the second game was won by six wickets after the Australian batting order collapsed in the second innings.
Todd Murphy, a 22-year-old making his Test debut, has been Australian lone bright spot in this series. In the first Test, Murphy took seven wickets, and in the second Test, he took three. Brett Lee, a former Australian fast bowler, believes that if Murphy continues up these types of performances, he might become Australia’s number one spinner.
“Anyone following Nathan Lyon? Todd Murphy, a 22-year-old off-spinner superstar, appears to be their solution. It was a tremendous debut for Australia. Todd Murphy drew the attention of the world to himself after Australia suffered a crushing defeat “Brett Lee stated in a YouTube video on his channel.
“In the sole innings in which Australia bowled, he collected 7/124. KL Rahul, Ravi Ashwin, Pujara, Virat Kohli, and Ravi Jadeja each took five wickets. What a great debut that was! At Nagpur, he did this in the company of his family “he added.
Brett Lee also discussed Todd Murphy’s relationship with Shane Warne.
Also, Brett Lee discussed the similarities between Shane Warne and Todd Murphy. During his domestic cricket career, the father of the 22-year-old played alongside Warne. Murphy will always be in the spotlight, according to Lee, because of his five-wicket performance against India.
“His father believes that Todd Murphy possesses the same catching skills as Shane Warne. It’s a bold statement, and he’ll be tested at this level in the future, but having becoming the 35th Australian to capture a five-wicket haul on debut, the attention will follow him throughout this series and beyond “said Lee.
