32 minutes ago Australia’s mission improbable: crack the genius of Jasprit Bumrah in 10 days | Barney Ronay

India’s supreme fast bowler destroyed the top order in Perth and the hosts have little time to avoid a second Test repeatTest cricket is supposed to be cruel. This is a key aspect of its beauty. This thing hurts. It will seek out your weakest points and then very carefully and skilfully gouge its nails into the wound.

After becoming disenchanted by pricey but middling gigs, I rediscovered the underground and became determined to champion it. But the obstacles are considerableI’m listening right now to a record I’ve put out on a label I’ve set up myself: a spiralling piece of vinyl unleashing a glorious noise. Helping bring it into existence has been a rush like no other – frightening and intimidating at times, but eye-opening and enormously rewarding.
