Hope he goes with some more chat to Bumrah in the first over or two tomorrow.

Didn’t Dean Jones ask Ambrose to take his wrist band off under Borders watch.
Yes he did, it was in the first final of the World Series Cup in 1992-93
Deano came in at 1-41 chasing 247. He asks Ambrose to take off his sweatbandsAmbrose then goes ballistic and we’re all out 160 runs later Ambrose takes 4 wickets gets five for the match.
Next final we get rolled. Ambrose takes 4 wickets, West Indies win the trophy
![]()
Next test in Adelaide we’re 1-0 up in the Frank Worrell trophy as AB and Richie R toss the coin, Ambrose takes 10 wickets we lose by one run and he get MOTM
Off to Perth next, he takes nine wickets for **** all we lose by an innings and there goes Frank he gets MOTM and MOTS
In three weeks 4 games he basically takes 26 wickets st under 10.
Within a year Deano plays his last game for Australia….
So yeah it’s reallllll smart to sledge good players!!!

Yeah because that was the only times the windies beat the Aussies and Ambrose performed well against Australia.

The Australians of Waugh Pontings era had simple rule that you didn’t sledge the likes of Lara, Tendulkar Akram and Ambrose you know the jets like Bumrah as is now. We sledge Ambrose twice and While both Jones and S Waugh won the battle, Australia lost the war ( that one day game and that Test)
I got no real problem with konstas having a yap but FFS choose your target!

All 5 pitches played on so far have been favourable for pace bowlers generally throughout the matches.
Spinners have hardly got a look in.
Been a few great tons against the odds but generally the batters from both sides are bruised, battered and devoid of confidence with some falling by the wayside and career ending as well probably? (Rohit, Khawaja, Marsh) . McSweeney should get another chance. Kholi has been exposed and the end is near.

So do I
I hope he goes big and if I was him I would be have “dialogue” with Siraj. Hare Krishna Viral, and others to get them off their game.
I wouldn’t be risking getting Bumrah going from normal Curtly areas of a wicket every 9 overs at 20 down to a wicket every 4 overs at under 10 like curtly did back in late January 1993.
M Waugh just summed it up beautifully.

IF they dueled in a 5 Test series, over 10 innings , I would expect the champ to win about 7 or 8 off 10 encounters
The sample size Bumrah v Konstas this series stands at 1-1 with 2 innings left
If it ends Bumrah 3-1 thats expected- but more of expectation is that the dont poke the bear advocates will be in force
If it ends 2-2 then its a decent win for Sammy
If Sammy wins 3-1 ....
Im tipping 3-1 Bumrah
