“This would definitely be one of the best spells bowled in Australia. That is what my opinion is. He was unplayable all the way through. It was not just one spell but every ball he bowled he looked terrific. The pace he generated was unbelievable and the line was too good. He has brought in more variety and he has truly showcased all varieties in fast bowling,” Srinath told MyNation.
