‘Height of idiocy’: Australia’s ‘awful’ attempt to disrupt India and Yashasvi Jaiswal irritates commentator
Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed a magnificent 161, his fourth Test century, powering India’s second innings in the Perth Test. Jaiswal and KL Rahul (77) put on a commanding opening stand, reaching 201 before Rahul fell to Mitchell Starc. Commentator Gerard Whateley criticized Australia’s decision to use Marnus Labuschagne as a bowler, calling it ‘utterly ridiculous’ and ‘the height of idiocy’.
