Mitchell Starc pulls off sensational direct hit from his own bowling to run out Tagenarine Chanderpaul
Australia veteran spearhead Mitchell Starc produced a brilliant direct hit from his own bowling to dismiss West Indies batter Tagenarine Chanderpaul on Day 3 of the second Test. His dismissal was an early breakthrough for the Aussies on Saturday (December 10) at the Adelaide Oval.
The incident occurred in the fifth over when Chanderpaul defended the ball toward the cover and set for a run but his partner sent him back. He was short of the crease when Starc picked the ball and aimed at the bull’s eye. The decision was sent upstairs and replays showed Chanderpaul was just out of his crease.

The southpaw remained unbeaten on 47 at stumps on Day 2 and couldn’t add further runs on Day 3. After his dismissal, West Indies’ score read 102/5.
