Shaheen Afridi's magical setup inflicts Aaron Hardie brain-fade moment during PAK vs AUS 3rd ODI
Hindustan TimesShaheen Afridi has struggled with a difficult few months in international cricket, not quite finding the threatening combination of pace and sharp swing which made him one of the best bowlers in world cricket in years past. Shaheen Afridi celebrates the wicket of Aaron Hardie during the 3rd ODI in Perth, Afridi bowled to top order batters Matt Short, Aaron Hardie and Jake Fraser-McGurk, swinging the ball both ways. Shaheen’s swing trickery arrived in the first ball of his fourth over, as he bowled one slightly shorter, which held its line rather than swing back into Hardie. Shaheen catches Hardie unawares However, the doubt created by Shaheen’s set-up meant that Hardie was in two minds as he left, and a late decision meant the delivery caught the edge of his bat as he meant to leave it.
