Expect The Unexpected Under Intense Glare Of Test Cricket - zacaroni - 12-10-2017
Quote:It never happened to him before. In all his days playing cricket, Sunil Ambris has never trod on his stumps. Until, that is, his first ball of his first Test. Against New Zealand in Wellington, when turning a short ball from Neil Wagner to leg, the batsman jumped back too far and was out, hit wicket.
Those watching on television heard the sound, amplified, as it was, by stump microphones. The batsman would’ve heard it too. And It must have been one of the most horrible he has ever heard.
It was a “freak dismissal,” said coach Stuart Law, who added that there is no way the batsman would do something like that again. But then he did. And it didn’t take him long either. In the very next game, his second, Ambris again went too far back in turning a ball to leg, this time it was from Trent Boult.
