Australian cricket legend Adam Gilchrist had never seen such things before in his entire career. Travis Head, who was bowled out by the Bangladesh National Cricket Team fast bowler Hasan Mahmud, took a few moments on the crease, turned around to fix the bails on the stumps again before starting to walk off the pitch.
It was something unusual from the Australia National Cricket Team's opener Travis Head, unusual for Gilchrist as well. A batter whose stumps have just been rattled by a bowler fixing the bails is something cricket fans will gonna see in everyday cricket.
I've never seen that in all my cricketing career: Adam Gilchrist on Travis Head’s act after dismissal vs BAN
In the second innings of the Test in Darwin, the Bangladesh pacer hit the good length of the pitch, angling the ball out from the left-hander Travis Head. Head angled his bat to play a cut shot through the point, but the ball hit the inside of the bat and then lashed on the stumps. Head departed for only 17 off 35. In the first innings too, it was Hasan Mahmud who bowled Head for the first time in the match.
"Chopped on! Hassan Mahmud gets the job done again. It's the angled bat of Travis Head. This is extraordinary; I've never seen that in all my cricketing career. A batsman so disappointed, but turns around and sets the stumps back up," Adam Gilchrist on air, from the commentary box.
"I've never seen that in all my cricketing career."
