Poor old Glenn Maxwell cops a doosy in Shield cricket. Batsman hits a return catch, bowler drops it, but the deflection off the hand goes back onto the stumps at the bowler’s end and runs the non-striker out.

Pujara has appealed to the third umpire.
Yesterday on the wireless there was a good bit of work done by Jim Maxwell while commentating with a younger fellow whose name I forget.
Let’s go to the tape.
Jim-: Long-on could be another 10 yards closer.
Other Bloke-: Come on Jim get with the times, we use metric measurements now.
Jim-: We’ll I wont argue with you, you’re a lot taller than me.
Jim-: By the way how tall are you?

It all starts again at the next test. I would say the new stadium is a neutral venue because half the Aussie team have never played there before. Besides that, for every mens cricket match hosted at the new stadium so far the host team has lost. I think there is no home ground advantage for the next test.
