Consider that they dismissed Josh Inglis — for a flinty 102 — Alex Carey and Pat Cummins in the space of 31 balls, and then Lyon and Cooper Connolly in five deliveries.
They took 6/59 on Thursday to limit Australia’s lead to 100.
Harmer bowled with nous and persistence on a pitch that didn’t offer him much help to take 4/104 in 37 overs, which is why he was sat behind the microphones.
And a good thing too: few players would have done such a good job in such adverse circumstances.
