Every bowler has that one batter whose number they just can’t stop calling. For Josh Hazlewood, it’s Quinton de Kock.
Hazlewood has dismissed Quinny nine times in the 17 ODIs they’ve played against each other. And today’s dismissal showed exactly why.
Dot. SIX. Dot. SIX. Dot. WICKET!
It looked like Quinny was winning the battle, launching two of Hazlewood’s three inswingers into the stands. But the Aussie quick stuck to his plan.
Same trap, same challenge, one ball too many.
The final delivery brought the breakthrough, completing a brilliant over of cat-and-mouse cricket.
Quinny landed two big punches, but Hazlewood delivered the knockout blow. Watch the set-up!
