Louis Cameron and Adam Burnett sum up the third NRMA Insurance Test from a sodden Brisbane. While the retirement of Ravichandran Ashwin caught us all on the hop, the dominance of Jasprit Bumrah and Travis Head did not. Can they continue to carry their teams? Is Head hurt? (SPOILER: He's not). Is Josh Hazlewood hurt? (SPOILER: He is). Steve Smith scored his 33rd Test century, written into existence by one of cricket.com.au's own. Speaking of, did cameraman Tama Stockley spook Yashasvi Jaiswal? There are World Test Championship final implications too and you will not need to understand trigonometry to work out how Australia can make it.
