Will this 30-year-old bowler become Pat Cummins' 'Brahmastra' in the Adelaide Test? He has defeated India A

 

Before the Adelaide Test, captain Pat Cummins included a new fast bowler in the Australian team. Cummins has taken this decision after Josh Hazlewood was ruled out of the second Test due to injury. Now he has been replaced by 30-year-old Brendan Doggett, who can make his debut against India during the Pink-Ball Test. Although Australia has definitely suffered a setback due to Hazlewood's ouster, Team India cannot take a sigh of relief from this. The reason behind this is Doggett's lethal bowling and his experience in domestic cricket. Recently, he also forced the India A team to kneel down.

wreaked havoc on India A

Brendan Doggett was called as a replacement during the 2 unofficial Tests between Australia A and India A. He bowled 11 overs in the match held at Mackay and took 6 wickets for just 15 runs. Due to his deadly bowling, the entire India A team was all out for just 107 runs. He also took 1 wicket in the second innings.

However, he did not get a chance to play in the second match. Now he has been called as Hazelwood's replacement against Team India as well. Let us tell you that this is the second time Doggett has been included in the team. Earlier, Australia had called him in the Test series against Pakistan in UAE in 2018 but did not give him a chance to debut.

7 years experience in domestic cricket

However, 30-year-old Doggett has not yet got a chance to debut for Australia. But he has good experience in domestic cricket. He has been playing first class matches since 2017. In these 7 years, Doggett has played 40 matches, in which he has taken 142 wickets at an average of 28.63. Team India's batsmen may face difficulty in facing him in the Adelaide Test. Because no batsman has played against him before this. In such a situation, he can prove to be a Brahmastra for captain Pat Cummins in the day-night test.

Two all-rounders were also called.

Pat Cummins has also included Doggett's two all-rounders Beau Webster and Sean Abbott in the team. Both of them have not yet made their debut for Australia. 30-year-old Webster has played 93 first-class matches, in which he has scored 5297 runs and taken 148 wickets. Webster took 7 wickets and scored 185 runs in 2 unofficial tests against India A. At the same time, 32-year-old Abbott has scored 2799 runs and taken 261 wickets in 87 first-class matches.
