Melbourne [Australia], Dec 28 : Australia skipper Tim Paine who is known for coming up with quirky descriptions from behind the stumps, was completely bowled over by New Zealand’s tailender’s strike to the boundary.
The incident happened in the 54th over of the Kiwi innings. Trent Boult stepped down the wicket and lofted Nathan Lyon’s delivery over the boundary ropes.
Paine was first seen saying “catch it”, but immediately he turned his phrase to “that’s big”.
