WATCH: Pat Cummins’ strange leave against Ravichandran Ashwin

Pat Cummins’ strange leave: Australia fast bowler was seen leaving the balls in one of the most strange ways against India off-spinner.

During the second day of the first Test of the ongoing India’s tour of Australia at Adelaide, Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins was seen leaving the balls in between his legs against India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.

In what appeared to be funny from the outside, it nearly saved the batsman from getting out. To the bowler’s misfortune, the ball missed both the batsman’s pads amd wickets.

It all happened on the fourth delivery of the 76th over when Cummins was bamboozled by Ashwin’s delivery which turned in sharply towards the batsman.

Cummins, who put a price on his wicket, was seen sharing a 50-run stand for the seventh wicket with Head. He was dismissed in the 81st over after he shouldered arms to an incoming Jasprit Bumrah delivery. Although he scored just 10 (47), he became part of a vital partnership for his team.

Australia finished the day at 191-7 in 88 overs. With three wickets remaining, the hosts still trail by 59 runs. Head, who came in to bat when his team was in a spot of bother, scored his second half-century tor rescue his team. Head remained unbeaten on 61 (149) at stumps. His innings comprised of six fours.

Australia would be counting on the 24-year old batsman to continue his good form tomorrow, building some lead for his team. On the other hand, India would be hoping for their bowlers to not let the opposition tail wag for it is one facet of the game which has let them down in the past as well.
