Cricket: Pat Cummins was left confused after a near run out chance was not awarded despite John Campbell's bat being above the ground over the crease.
Cummins argues over non-run out call | 00:43The Frank Worrell Trophy series finale between the West Indies and Australia is headed for a dramatic conclusion afterThe tourists were 6-99 at stumps, leading by just 181 runs, with Cameron Green and captain Pat Cummins unbeaten in the middle.
The talent is undeniable, but he hasn’t lived up to expectations since his Boxing Day blitz. The national selectors would have hoped the Frank Worrell Trophy would serve as an opportunity for Konstas to get some runs under his belt against a lowly opposition and boost his confidence ahead of the home summer — but the opposite has taken place.“He could be the future, but it’s not now.”
Recalled for the first time since January’s New Year’s Test against India at the SCG, the Victorian seamer was the pick of the Australian bowlers on day two in Kingston, taking 3-34 from 13.1 overs. It was his best bowling performance in Tests outside of Australia. “He knows the situation. He knows that he’s the fourth in line,” former Australian batter Greg Blewett said in commentary.WINDIES LEFT RED-FACED AFTER ‘INEXCUSABLE’ DISMISSALS
Soon after, Alzarri Joseph attempted to smack his fourth delivery down the ground for a swashbuckling boundary, but instead spooned a regulation catch towards mid-on. Falling victim to all-rounder Beau Webster, it was a soft dismissal for the Antiguan. Soon after, Carey dropped another catch to gift West Indies wicketkeeper Shai Hope an extra life on 21, missing the low chance off the inside edge. However, the 33-year-old would have breathed a sigh of relief when Scott Boland knocked over Hope the very next ball with an unplayable delivery that nipped through the gate and crashed into the pegs.
