5th Test: How Costly Might That Be, Says Ponting On Siraj’s Reprieve To Brook
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said Mohammed Siraj dropping Harry Brook’s catch on 19 could prove to be expensive in deciding the fate of the fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test, and pointed out that the India pacer didn’t need to move around to take the chance.
On the first ball of the 35th over, Brook had a big reprieve on 19 when Siraj, who came back on the field after a short break, attempted to take the catch in the deep off Prasidh Krishna. But in the process of taking it, the pacer stepped on the boundary cushion to concede a six.
"What was he thinking? He wasn't thinking at all... He didn't have to move to take the catch, so how costly might that be? Brook is still in and reads the bowlers so well. He bats in a Test match how you would try and read a bowler in a T20," Ponting said on Sky Sports’ broadcast during lunch break.
