Swepson to Kohli, 2 runs, that is a save and a half! Un-frickin-believable! Charges down the wicket to a flighted one, does Kohli, and it was a six over long-on as soon as he hit it – but Smith, the eagle-eyed Smith, is eager to make amends. And jumps as high as he can to catch the […]
Swepson to Dhawan, out Caught by Daniel Sams!! Sams recovers brilliantly in the deep after the ball initially pops out. Pulled hard to the left of deep midwicket. Sams gets across to his side, getting both hands on it as he runs across. But the ball rebounds off his palms. It doesn’t get away from him though, […]
Thakur to Maxwell, 2 runs, excellent effort from Samson, saved four runs for his team, length ball and Maxwell got under it as he launched it into the night sky – looked like it was sailing over Samson as he set himself right in front of the ropes. Did well to watch it all along, threw […]
Zampa to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, throws caution to the wind, clears his front leg and absolutely smokes it into another planet! This is Shreyas Iyer at his very best, he likes to play against spinners and Zampa’s toss up went into the mid-wicket orbit. India won the match by 6 wickets and Hardik Pandya declared as […]
Daniel Sams to Hardik Pandya, SIX, India seal the T20I series with a game to go! Hardik gets another length ball on off-stump and he’s launched it into the cow corner stands India need a solid start at the top and the openers ensured they were (little over) par with Australia’s powerplay score. Soon as Rahul got out, […]
Chahal to Smith, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! Back of a length, darted in by Chahal. It gets onto Smith quickly who miscues it from high on the bat. Should have been comfortable for Pandya at long-off running to his left. But he nearly made a meal of it. After a juggling act, he finally holds on […]
Washington Sundar to Wade, out Wade Run Out!! Comical dismissal. Wade should have been out caught Kohli, but he’s now run-out Kohli. Washington Sundar bowled slower through the air and got some purchase, Wade closed the bat face early trying to flick after a step down the wicket, got a leading edge. Dolly of a catch at […]
Chahal to Smith, out Caught by Samson!! Brilliance from Samson! If Hardik’s catch was superb, this was even better. Smith had to really fetch the slog sweep and did hit it fairly well but didn’t get the placement right. Got it towards the cow corner region where Samson swooped in briskly, and dived forward in a timely fashion to […]
Chahal to Finch, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! Hardik shows the others how to take a catch! And what a superb take it is! Chahal looped this leg break up to entice the big shot and Finch wasn’t going to back down. Tried to go straight down the ground and ended up slicing it a bit towards long-off. Was […]
Starc to Dhawan, out Bowled!! The off stump has been knocked out flat. What a jaffa from Starc. It’s full and fast at close to 144kph, Dhawan gets his front leg away to drive through the off-side. But the ball swings away late. He’s beaten comprehensively on the outside edge before hearing the death rattle. Dhawan […]
