Anyone who has been waking up at 4 in the morning to watch the Border-Gavaskar series has been regularly blessed with the best of Test cricket. Today was no different. Debutants Shardul Thakur and Washington Sundar got together for a 121-run partnership for the 7th wicket to keep India alive in the game.
But in the middle of that, Sundar did something even more special, something he and Nathan Lyon =, who is playing his his 100th Test will remember for a while. The Indian debutant swatted him over the cow corner for a no-look six.
