Choosing to bat first during the toss initially didn’t go well for the home side, as they quickly lost four wickets. However, the lower-order batsmen stepped up, managing to post a total of 158 runs on the board.
In response, their bowlers performed exceptionally well during the middle overs, with one particular moment standing out—a comical catching episode between Ashton Agar and Jason Behrendorff.
On the sixth delivery of the seventh over, Lance Morris delivered a short ball wide outside the off stump. Josh Brown attempted an aggressive cut shot wide of the third-man region, resulting in a top edge that sent the ball floating between backward point and the third-man region.
Agar, positioned within the 30-yard circle, sprinted backward, signaling Behrendorff, who was charging in from third man, to go for the catch.

However, realizing the difficulty for the tall pacer, Agar made a last-minute adjustment and successfully grabbed the catch himself. This entertaining incident sparked a frenzy on Twitter, with users joking about the concept of ‘trust issues.’
