AMIR RATTLES THE AUSSIES
2010: Australia v Pakistan, Gros Islet
The final over of the Australian innings in the Group A encounter should count among the most bizarre ones in the T20 World Cup’s history. It began with Australia on 191 for five. It ended with Australia 191 all out. Mohammad Amir’s first two balls saw Brad Haddin edging to short third man and Mitchell Johnson losing his middle stump respectively. The third and fourth balls produced runouts. The fifth ball brought a massive relief to the Aussies, who somehow averted the loss of another wicket. It was business as usual off the last ball though, with Amir cleaning up Shaun Tait. WWWW0W. It was as if Australia had invented a new spelling for wow.
