0.4 – X to Y – Four runs – Dropped. Z spills one, a tough, sharp chance at
point, that should have been taken, short and wide and it's cut over him, he
ends up palming it over his head to the boundary.
0.5 - X to Y – No run - Z drops it again, short and wide and this one's even
more reachable, cut straight to him, and not very firmly, bends down to catch
it in front of his stomach, easy chance this and he's spilt it once again.
1.0 - X to Y – No run - This can't be happening, Z has dropped three in a row,

says Harsha Bhogle on air. Last year it was Bollinger. This time out of
no where, after a horrible first spell, X turns up and bowls an
unbelievable last over. Three yorkers off the last three balls! You
can't ask for more. Full on middle and leg, Bhatia looks to get
something, anything under it and work it to the leg side, but it hits
the pads and goes nowhere. X appeals, but he won't mind that it
