Watch free streaming cricket video highlights from the third day of the Perth Test Match –
Another riveting day’s cricket that saw the game already into the last innings of the test match by the end of the Day 3.
The rapid nature with which this test match seems to be heading to a result is quite extraordinary cos usually when this happens it means one side has been dominating quite severely.
Virender Sehwag and Irfan Pathan held out the old clich̩ Рbetter late than never Рjustifying their selection into the Indian team. Just the fact that they scored so fast ensured that despite some quick wickets
Brett Lee was at his champion bowler best. The word champion has been overused so much it nowadays sounds only fit for an energy drink advertisement. This is what you mean by an Australian fast bowler. Not a hyped Shaun Tait who bowled mainly in the 130s, that is, on the few occasions that captain Ricky Ponting gave him the ball. It’s really ridiculous to be shooting off your mouth that you are going to break all speed barriers only to turn yourself into a farcical version of Jeff Thomson.
There is an interesting verbal friendly sledging duel between Brett Lee and Irfan Pathan in this video highlights that’s waiting to load. Across three deliveries, it ends in a beautiful straight four by Pathan.
Lee bowled an extended 8 over spell and it worked cos he netted Sachin Tendulkar who was looking extremely calm through his short stint that included a breathtaking straight drive off Lee.
