Siraj unstoppable now! an LBW and a catch in Australia
Australian commentators were all praise for Siraj’s excellent bowling
Hyderabad: Hyderabad fast bowler Mohammed Siraj continued his fairytale run as he scalped his second Test wicket when he trapped the tall Cameron Green leg before to get another big breakthrough for India. This time the fiery Siraj brought the ball in sharply to catch Green on the crease to get a favourable verdict from Australian umpire Paul Reiffel. The batsman referred the decision to DRS and the ball tracker showed the ball hitting the leg stump. There was a joy from Siraj who was surrounded by his teammates
The Australian commentators were all praise for Siraj’s excellent bowling. Siraj had to wait till 28th to over his first over after lunch session before taking his first Test wicket by having the consistent Marnus Labuschagne caught at backward short leg by another debutant Shubnam Gill in his second spell in his eighth over
Surely Siraj’s father, late Mohammed Ghouse, who died last month, would be a happy man and would have blessed his son from heaven.
For Hyderabad there was further joy when their former captain G Hanuma Vihari snapped Tim Paine at backward short leg off off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to have Australia reeling 155 for 7 in 63 overs.
Siraj further came into action when he held his first catch at fine leg when Jasprit Bumrah had left-hander Mitchell Starc hooking straight into the fielder’s hands.
