He would be 100 times more dangerous with a carrom ball or a doosra or even an arm ball though. no idea why he is so stubborn to develop one.
Maybe he can't produce those balls without throwing the ball and actually gives a shit about trying not to bowl with a suspect action

Innocuous doesn't mean what you think it does. Ripping it a mile and really troubling the right handers.
He's non-threatening insofar as he bowls the same type of ball everytime.

It took a massive deflection off Pujara's inner thigh and back onto the stumps.

For all the talk of this not being a result pitch, I certainly wouldn't want to be batting on Day 5, trying to save the match with how the pitch is turning already.

Did you miss all the false strokes he made him play prior to that which contributed to the wicket or...?

As an offie he's bowling the perfect line and length to the right handers, I guess McGrath was innocuous too because he kept hitting the same areas?

Strange comment, he's been positively dangerous.

Where have I heard that before...I would say a Du Plessis poster may disagree. It isn't that hard to survive on this pitch.

Wow Marsh is a talent. 41 with the bat yesterday and was looking very good. Then today he has bowled seven overs and the Indians cannot hit him.

Ashwin bowls a carrom ball without chucking....it is the easiest version of the 'doosra'. Even Maxwell has developed a version of it (well so he said).
