It reminds me of Saha's dismissal in Australia 

The Adelaide one in 2014.. man I was so pissed back then.

Two legendary heartbreaks in that year alone.

Auckland and Adelaide both tests we choked when we had a shot at history

What a boring series overall, I don't think the quality of cricket played was any good.

 

NZ and WI provided better competition.

This is what they wrote about Kela as well in Indian media .

Time to enjoy the troll memes at this point :)

Imagine this guy talking about cockiness. IN the commentary box Adam Gilchrist was extremely humble. It was Vaughan that was all cocky

I think he is the most confused player in Bazball era.

Alissa haley and Brad haddin both keepers mentioned "Alexy carey did not fumble a single ball in this game".  That is remarkableJust elevated his credentials.

Anytime a spinner from SENA dives full length to save the run off his own bowling i get annoyed because our spinners are one of the worst of their own bowling. Even jaddu from time to time lets the ball go under his legs.

Australia is allowing these two settle down as they wait for new ball.

Why is Green bowling so early?

With no expectations on them - these baz ball clowns may put up a good fight.

Boundarie sare 60 meter. So it is not a productive ploy unless you nail your bouncer. Akash deep got him with slower one.

He will come in an over or 2. New ball is still 8 overs away
