Sydney Cricket Ground: Australia head coach Andrew McDonald is not surprised with his pacer Scott Boland's eight-wicket haul in the ongoing fifth Test against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.

Playing his third Test of the five-match series, Boland returned with the figures of 4-42 after finishing with 4-31 in India's first innings. His performance enabled Australia to restrict India to 141/6 at stumps on Day 2.

“We're not surprised by Scotty's performances. Every time he plays, he does the job well. His ability to just be relentless on a length move the ball both ways, it's proving difficult, in particular on this (SCG) surface," McDonald said.
