He got out for a duck.

He's setting him up for a googly.

That flipper stayed low.

He's got a fly slip and silly mid on for this spell.

Thats another impressive tail wag by the aussies.

Theres a MILLION. Sticky wicket, leading edge, baggy green, cover drive, dilscoop, beamer, dead ball. Could go on and on
