Brathwaites shoddy techniqueOn an overcast morning, Kraigg Brathwaite weathered a testing opening spell from Sri Lankas seamers. All his hardwork came undone with sloppy technique, not against the new balls but while running. He patted a length delivery to mid-on, judged a run well and immediately set off. However, instead of sliding the bat in, he plonked it in the turf on the adjacent pitch. The bat jarred and bounced back up. Nuwan Kulasekara ran in, picked the ball with his right hand and threw the stumps down at the bowlers end. Brathwaites feet and bat were in the air, ending an innings that showed promise.Juggle, catch, juggle, dropRovman Powells debut ODI innings was laden with boundaries on the leg side, a result of a strong bottom hand. In the 44th over, he failed to get underneath one such bottom-handed flick off Suranga Lakmal. The ball skewed off the inside half of the bat and carried to deep midwickets right. The fielder, Shehan Jayasuriya, moved nimbly and looked set to take a comfortable catch at chest height. The ball, however, bounced out off his palm and lobbed back up. Panicking, Jayasuriya grabbed at a simple parry and juggled it up again. Still panicking, he grasped at it, but the ball had had enough of Jayasuriya and dropped by his feet.Kulasekaras two plus twoNot many fast bowlers are stationed at midwicket. Kulasekara was and he showed why. In the 47th over, Jason Holder nudged a ball to short midwicket and set off for one. He was slow to start, but picked up pace as Kulasekara swooped in on the ball. He picked up cleanly, turned quickly and released the ball all in one swift motion to hit the base of the stumps at the bowlers end. Even a tall Holder was more than a foot short. Kulasekara took two wickets with the ball and in the field.Harares helpWest Indies defended 227 on the back of some accurate bowling, but were also abetted along the way by a Harare surface that got gradually harder to score on. Ashley Nurse, in the 22nd over of the chase, pitched an innocuous-looking offbreak on leg stump. But the ball spun and bounced on Upul Tharanga, who had shaped to flick, and bobbled up off the leading edge, and Nurse claimed a simple return catch.Carlos Brathwaite, too, realised success lay in using the conditions. He repeatedly used offcutters, banging them in the middle of the pitch. Jayasuriya, batting on 31 in the 41st over, was too early into a nudge and a leading edge was snaffled up at midwicket.

Kim Hughes v West Indies, 1981 The MCG wicket in the 1980s is a nightmare. A short-pitched ball is as likely to hit you in the ankle as a fuller delivery on the head. And West Indies have all these awesome bowlers: the elongated Joel Garner, the divine Michael Holding, the malicious Andy Roberts and the malevolent Colin Croft, who is possibly the most difficult of them all. The top order has crumbled, Greg Chappell makes a duck, the score is 8 for 3 when Graeme Wood departs and Kim Hughes comes to the wicket.He bats like a man possessed. The meanest bowling attack in the world on a deck bordering on the unplayable and he doesnt care. He cuts, he pulls, he slays demons. His father-in-law is dying, watching with a week to live. Hughes is aware of this. It is context. His innings continues for three sessions. Terry Alderman arrives and says he isnt staying out here long, but hangs in for the best part of an hour, and sees his Western Australia skipper bring up 100 before he has had enough. Ian Chappell said it was the bravest innings he ever saw.Dennis Lillee bowls Viv Richards, 1981 This is from the same Test but is a highlight that deserves its own stage. A pause for the innings break, before Dennis Lillee and Terry Alderman return the favour and tear through the top order. Faoud Bacchus is first to go, then Desmond Haynes. Colin Croft is sent in as nightwatchman but cant keep Lillee out and the visitors are 6 for 3. The noise is deafening but the best is yet to come.You have to remember West Indies are nearing invincibility. They have arrived unbeaten in 15 Tests (though with just four wins), and anyway here comes Viv. He swaggers to the crease and settles things down for a moment or two. Its going to be all right, man. Then Lillee comes in to bowl the last delivery of the day, the crowd urging him to the crease with the chant: Lillee! Lillee! Lillee!He pitches it full and outside off, and Richards aims a loose-limbed drive toward the covers but the ball swings late, catches the inside edge and cannons into the stumps. West Indies are 10 for 4. The team rushes for the dressing rooms but the ground has erupted like never before. Nobody wants to leave.Virus first day, 2003 Look, Ricky Pontings 257 in reply was something. But there was something else altogether about Virender Sehwags 195 on that first day. Sure it was a tame pitch and the Australian bowling wasnt that flash, but Sehwag was extraordinary.He redefined the way you went about it at the top of the order. Without him there is no David Warner. He only faced 233 balls, but what he did was simply scintillating. He was hit on the helmet twice and survived a run-out chance in the fifth over thanks to an Adam Gilchrist fumble.dddddddddddd After that he seemed to figure he had nothing to lose.In all, he hit 25 fours and five sixes and struck the ball so hard at times, you were sure it would come back to the bowler flattened by the power of his blade. He should have got the double but the Australians put every man on the boundary and Simon Katich had him caught there off a full toss.Hair calls Murali, 1995 A lowlight more than a highlight, it was one of the worst moments ever witnessed in a Test match and it came completely out of the blue. I was at my parents in the country for Christmas and watching the match on television, lying on the floor in front of the box.Muttiah Muralitharan was just 23 and bowling on the first day, Australia two wickets down when umpire Darrell Hair called no-ball. It wasnt a big deal at first, but then he called him again. And again. And again. Seven times in all, in three overs. Why? Hed been bowling earlier in the day. Listening back now you can hear the confusion from the commentators. Tony Greig cant understand whats going on; they can see his front foot is not over the line and his back foot is fine. Hes called him for chucking, I said to my father. Bill Lawry thought the same thing. I was horrified. Shocked. The hair on my arms stood up. This was just not on. Hair had humiliated Murali in front of the world. Some 55,000 people were watching live and there was this strange buzz coming from the ground. Im still sorry it happened.Shane Warnes hat-trick, 1994 Australia are in total command as the game limps into a fifth day. England, dejected, are 91 for 6 and on their way to a massive defeat and Shane Warne doesnt even have a wicket in the second innings.He rights that situation by trapping Phil DeFreitas in front with the fourth ball of his 13th over. DeFreitas has played back, been hurried a little by a ball that didnt really turn. No big deal in the scheme of things. Darren Gough comes out - hes always good for a few runs, but he nicks off the first ball. Its a good delivery, one that bounces and turns. A good catch by Ian Healy too and now theres a little bit of interest. Two wickets, two balls. He couldnt, could he?Of course he could, hes Shane Warne. Fielders encircle Devon Malcolm. Warne sucks in a few deep breaths and bowls a topspinner. It catches glove and squirts low and fast to short leg. Its wide of David Boon but somehow he dives to his right and pulls off a classic catch. ' ' '
