James Faulkner – 5.5/10:
James Faulkner made a commendable all-round effort, performing in both the departments; perhaps more in the batting department than in the bowling department.
After remaining wicket-less for till the final stages of the first innings, Faulkner added the consolation wicket of MS Dhoni in the 50th over to end with stats of 1/67. Later on, he created a good impact with the bat trying to save the game for Australia when all other had lost hopes.
His contribution of 32 from 25 balls stretched the till the last over of the match, but it wasn’t enough eventually.
