He swung the ball into the right-hander like a banana, beating the inside edge of an intended push to knock the timbers apart. The ball was pitched much around the sixth stump line and nipped back in to castle the middle and leg stump. Subsequently, the batter was seen shellshocked as he stood affirm shadowing his bat before taking the dejected walk back to the hut.
