The cruel truth about MacGill’s last Test

Extracts from Cricinfo’s ball-by-ball commentary on Stuart MacGill’s bowling in his final Test in Antigua.

Over 19, Ball 3 - That’s dross, I’m afraid.

25.3 MacGill is all over the place here. No control whatsoever.

29.2 A rank long-hop

29.6 MacGill to Sarwan, SIX, well - that’s comfortably the worst of the lot. It was a half-tracker, possibly even shorter. MacGill’s gone to scratch his head and wonder why and how Michael Clarke is outbowling him.

Tony Cozier has called MacGill’s spell “horrid” which is almost understating it.

53.6 MacGill to Sarwan, OUT, he’s got a wicket! At last MacGill finds a good one which ripped from middle stump.

61.1 MacGill to Bravo, 1 wide, miles wide, and rightly called a wide.

61.2 MacGill to Bravo, 1 run, down the leg-side this time - you can’t fault him for variety. My money’s on a full-toss for the next one.
