Thakur to Smith, out Caught by Rahul!! Oh my! Smith has departed without scoring a hundred. Shardul gets the biggest wicket for India. And it comes through a way that has been witnessed quite a few times with Smith. Short of length delivery angled down leg. Smith moves too far across and then has to adjust […]
Bumrah to Finch, no run, edged and dropped. Bumrah is aghast as Dhawan puts a straightforward catch at slip. Finch turns into a fielding coach. Jabs it tentatively with hard hands at this length delivery that shot up off the surface outside off. Feathers an outside edge which flies to the lone slip fielder. Dhawan was […]
T Natarajan to Labuschagne, out Bowled!! Chinnappampatti express kicks off. Maiden wicket in international cricket for T Natarajan. Looks up at the heavens and pumps his fists. So, the experiment with Labuschagne opening the batting hasn’t worked for Australia. To be honest, he looked fidgety from the start. Never looked comfortable and just when he thinks of smashing […]
Abbott to Jadeja, FOUR, wonderful thinking from Jadeja. Square leg is in, he knew it would be full outside off. So walks across his stumps, stays low and hacks it over the fielder’s head Abbott to Jadeja, FOUR, consecutive fours for Jadeja. Jadeja toying the bowler as Abbott corrected his length and digs it short. Jadeja rocks […]
Hazlewood to Kohli, out Caught by Carey!! Brilliant review from Australia! This is a killer blow for India as the set Kohli departs. Cracker of a nut from Hazlewood, angled this into the Indian captain and this zipped off the deck while also straightening just a tad. Kohli was left floundering as he tried to poke at it. Real […]
Navdeep Saini to Finch, no ball, oh no! A rank high full toss at 145.6kph and Finch is hit on the tummy. No-balled for height. Chahal, Rahul and Finch share a light moment. Rahul suggests “Aah there’s enough natural padding there, should be okay,” as he pulls one on Finch. All smiles Here is the clip of that video: https://www.facebook.com/cricketcomau/videos/197821158497191/
Hazlewood to Kohli, out Caught by Henriques! This is the moment. The moment of the match if Australia go on to win. He’s charged down the wicket and given it his all – a hard pull to a back of a length ball, and this time. it’s not Smith but Henriques at short midwicket who has […]
Henriques to Shreyas Iyer, out Caught by Smith!! Shreyas Iyer, Shreyas Iyer! A rank long hop they say. Slower ball into the pitch at 109kph and it sits up, Iyer thinks he can find the boundary over the infield through mid-wicket. But Steve Smith flies to his left in the circle to break a really good […]
Jadeja to Smith, out Warner Run Out!! 1 run completed. Brilliant bit of work from Iyer. Not good thinking from Warner. Jadeja slowed it up and almost deceived Smith, but the batsman checked his shot and chipped it over the bowler and called for two, upon seeing Iyer he was content with the single but Warner was […]
Maxwell to Hardik Pandya, SIX, he’s smashed that alright! Full and on the pads, Pandya gets in position and slogs it handsomely over square leg Maxwell to Hardik Pandya, SIX, Maxwell in inviting the big hits and hoping for a mishit but Pandya is a clean-striker against the spinners. Another maximum over long-on and he gets to […]
