19.1
Neesham to Dickwella, out Bowled!! One brings two for New Zealand! Dickwella once again throws it away after a sensational fifty. Someone needs to make him learn the art of making hundreds. It was a fuller length delivery and well wide of off, was a slower one too. It comes back in off the deck. Dickwella wanted to carve it away wide of backward point. He gets an inside edge and it clatters the stumps. Dickwella b Neesham 76(50) [4s-8 6s-3]
