Gone With The Wind! Hilarious Scene During New Zealand-Sri Lanka 2nd Test. Watch
Heavy winds impacted the second Test between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at the Basin Reserve, Wellington. It became difficult for the bowlers to bowl their lines on the opening day, and the fourth day of the match was no exception. On Monday, Sri Lanka had resumed their second innings at 113 for 2, after the hosts had enforced follow-on. In the 121st over, Michael Bracewell bowled a delivery towards the off-stump but the heavy wind caused the ball to outrageously drift away from batter Prabath Jayasuriya and go well out of his reach.
