AUS vs PAK [WATCH]: Aamer Jamal cleans up Alex Carey with a stunning delivery

Australia‘s dominance in the first Test against Pakistan extended seamlessly from day one into day two, as their batting prowess continued to shine. The hosts, showcasing impressive form, leave a lasting impression with their remarkable performance. Amidst this cricketing spectacle, a moment of particular intrigue that captured the cricket fraternity’s attention was the dismissal of wicket keeper-batter Alex Carey by the Test debutant, Aamer Jamal.

Aamer Jamal’s marvellous delivery to send Alex Carey packing

The captivating moment unfolded on the final delivery of the 97th over when Jamal strategically positioned himself wider of the crease. Executing a masterful display of bowling artistry, he delivered a precisely pitched length ball that initially veered towards the middle stump before artfully swinging away. Carey found himself on the front foot, executing a technically sound shot, anticipating the inward angle.

However, the red leather’s sphere defied expectations, eluding the left-handed batter’s deftly poised bat and making a subtle deviation to kiss the top of the off-stump. It was a splendid manifestation of the right-arm seamer’s performance, showcasing not only his skilful execution but also the inherent unpredictability and finesse that make cricket a sport of intense fascination and excitement.
