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 a single overbye skipper Pat Cummins, they dropped two catches. The catch dropped by Steve Smith was probably the easiest chance until that point of the match.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Head put down a chance. However, it was not an easy chance for him. Head covered a lot of ground and strecthced his body as well, but could not grab the ball properly. So far in the match, nothing seems to be going in favour of the Australian cricket team.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cricketaddictor.com\/cricket-news\/never-seen-that-travis-heads-act-after-dismissal-vs-ban-catches-adam-gilchrist-off-guard-462595\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australian cricket legend Adam Gilchrist had never seen such things before in his entire career.
