Nagpur, Feb 10: Todd Murphy has had a “special” couple of days and the bespectacled Australian Test debutant, who resembled more like a professor of history rather than practitioner of finger spin, couldn’t be happier for his five-wicket haul against India in the ongoing opening Test here.
Murphy has so far picked up 5/82 in India’s first innings, with the wickets of KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli in his kitty.
“It’s been a pretty special couple of days and to top it off with a five-wicket haul on debut is more than I ever hope for and it is going to be something that I’ll look back on for the rest of my life and be proud of,” Murphy said at the end of Day 2.
Murphy started out as a medium pacer but later found off-breaks to be his calling card. He said his career changed when he toured Sri Lanka with the Australia A side last year. (PTI)
