A tremendous century from Tom Blundell on Day 4 of the second Test went in vain as Australia won ౠthe match by 247 runs.
The Aussie off-spinner Nathan Lyon again sho💜wed his incredible bowling skills by 🌊taking four wickets.
Lyon, however, took everyone by s🃏urprise when he sent Kiwi wicket-keeper BJ Watli𝓰ng back into the pavilion.
It was the kind of dismissal that even caught the commentators’ attention, and they were quite impressed, especially the former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting.
In the 50th over of Blackca🧸ps second innings, Lyon bowled a wide delivery outsid๊e off and it spun back in towards the batsman.
Watling played a defensive shot, but the ball took the inside edge and went straight into the hands ✱of David Warner, positioned at legꦗ-slip.
“I’m not sure I’ve seen that. Inside edge back through the gate to leg slip – normally you see those ones played off the back foot, inside edge off the thigh pad to leg slip. But not like that,” said Ponting.
The🅠 official Twitter handle of Cricket Australia posted the video of the epic dismissal.
“Bet you’ve never seen a dismissal like that! #AUSvNZ, “tweeted Cricket Australia
