Ashwin to Wade, out Caught by Jadeja!! Well, well. That’s some crazy level of bravado here from Wade, who for some reason wants to pump Ashwin out of the attack before drinks on the first morning. Ummm. Nevertheless, he decides to do it by charging down the pitch and hoicking him downtown. But he’s nowhere close to […]
Ashwin to Smith, out Caught by Pujara!! Ashwin has Smith again and look at him run in celebration – turning out to be a fiesty morning session from India. A duck for Smith – it’s rare for him to have a failure against India, he has two now. The off-break once again, pitched around middle and turned towards […]
Ashwin to Starc, out Starc Run Out!! 1 run completed. India look confident they’ve got Starc run out. It’s a bullet throw from the deep, right next to the stumps, and yes Starc is inches short. Some redemption for Prithvi Shaw after his horrible drop earlier. This ball was drifting into the pads of Starc who clipped […]
Ashwin to Green, out Caught by Kohli!! Kohli raises his arms and takes a perfunctory bow. It’s a screamer at midwicket from the Indian captain. Dives full stretch to his right to grab this with both hands. The ball is slightly short from Ashwin, but I don’t think Green strikes his pull well enough. Still, it’s flat […]
Shami to Labuschagne, FOUR, Bumrah, what have you done! Bumrah unnecessarily jumped trying to take a simple catch. I guess the proximity of the fence forced him to do so as it was on the back of his mind. But the ball popped out. Actually he was trying to pop it back thinking he would go […]
Lyon to Rahane, out Kohli Run Out!! Bad call from Rahane, and he has sold Kohli down the river. Oh my. Pushes this delivery to the left of mid-off and starts to run. Kohli sees him and responds immediately. But Rahane then bails out, leaving his captain stranded in the middle of the pitch. No way back […]
Cummins to Agarwal, out Bowled!! THROUGH THE GATE! Cummins showing why he’s the number one in the world. He was about to hand the ball to debutant Green in the previous over, but decided to continue and bowled a maiden previous over. Now he comes back and picks up a wicket first ball. What.A.Champion. Went slightly wide and bowled […]
Wildermuth to Pant, FOUR, to deep mid-wicket Wildermuth to Pant, FOUR, to long-on Wildermuth to Pant, SIX, to backward square leg Wildermuth to Pant, FOUR, to deep extra cover Wildermuth to Pant, FOUR, to deep mid-wicket Pant is still unbeaten at the end of the Day. He scored 103 runs off just 73 balls with the help of 9 fours […]
The Indian pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah scored his first ever fifty in any format of his cricket career. He smashed the first-class fifty against the Australia A. Bumrah is also the top run scorer in that Inning, he scored unbeaten 55 off 57 balls with the help of 6 fours and 2 sixes. India scored […]
T Natarajan to Wade, no run, half-an-appeal for LBW, but the ball seemed to be sliding down leg, Wade fell across on the clip – did the ball straighten after pitching? India have gone for a review. Hang on! Looks like Kohli was late on the call and it’s been disallowed. The third umpire had started […]
