Bumrah to Paine, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! That’s a rippah. Just too good for Paine. Very similar to the one that Green got. Good length ball that nips back in at 138.1kph. Paine’s feet go nowhere as he pushes his hands forward, the ball finds the gap between bat and pad to hit the top of […]
Siraj to Will Pucovski, no run, How about that for a catch? Pant put down an easy chance a couple of overs back, but he has taken a fine catch this time around. Or has he? Oh no, he has put down yet another chance! Will Pucovski gets another life. Looks like it’s his day. And Pant […]
Siraj to Warner, out Caught by Pujara!! India have their early wicket.. This is a huge one. As a returning David Warner departs for a low score. Finger on the lip celebration from Siraj. Not sure who it was intended to. Very similar delivery to the previous one which Warner missed. Full and angled across the left […]
Umesh Yadav to Burns, out Caught by Pant!!An absolute peach and Burns has been caught behind, but at the last moment, he decides to review. Took a long time, had a big chat with his partner and signalled for it. HotSpot detects a mark, so the onfield call will stay and Burns’s misery is over. He was on […]
Bumrah to Wade, no run, back of a length angling into Wade who defends softly to mid-wicket. After that the India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and Australian skipper Paine exchanged few words. It’s always an entertaining bunter between these two players on the field. Here is the clip of that video: The Wade-Pant verbals continue 🗣🍿 […]
Bumrah to Smith, out Bowled!! The leg-stump trap. That leg-stump trap. And Smith shufle right into it. It’s a well laid out strategy — bowl quick, like real quick, on leg-stump, and Smith will walk across, try to glance and get beaten for pace. Bumrah’s gotten him to do just that. And is deadly accurate to get the ball to kiss […]
Lyon to Jadeja, out Rahane Run Out!! Australia finally get a breakthrough! It had to be a run out to remove Rahane, given how well he had been batting. This is a dismissal that’s probably brought about due to the milestone effect. Jadeja was clearly looking for that single to get to his fifty in the previous deliveries, […]
Cummins to Pujara, out Caught by Paine!! One-handed blinder from Paine! And he loves it, absolutely loves it. Look at him go. This is a massive strike for Australia and they know it. Almost a replica of Pujara’s Adelaide second innings dismissal. Stuck on the crease to this in-angler that just straightens a bit to find the edge. Was […]
Ashwin to Paine, out Caught by Hanuma Vihari!! And the plan works to perfection. Back-to-back wickets for India, the dangerous Paine has been dismissed. Lovely delivery from Ashwin – a classic off-spinner’s dismissal this – slowed down the pace and landed the ball around middle. The dip is so sharp that Paine is left in no […]
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 […]
