Starc to bavuma was not that a great delivery it swung in just a little and took a thick inside edge otherwise it wud have been blocked. Where as delivery Smith got swung quite a bit to go thru the gates

@Shubham Sharma Australia provides a minimum quality pitch.... It will not be a rank Turner. But have good pace and bounce which is useful for pace and spin. Also have grip and uneven bounce in last 2 days which also helps both pacers and spinners... Batsman having solid techniques can score runs🔥🔥🔥🔥...... But subcontinent pitches lacks quality... Turning pitch is good deal for test... But some pitches will be slow rank turners from day 1. So spinners get huge support and pacers can only depend on shine of the ball😐😐... After day 3, pitch will be hectic by deterioration 😬😬... Which makes heaven for spinners and pacers are compelled to hit the cracks to get wicket😔... Also heavily dependent on reverse swing.... In day 3 & 4, batsman cannot trust the pitch by 10 percent and luck plays major role in every delivery 😞
