From the Vault: Ishant's iconic WACA spell to Ponting

Getting the better of Ricky Ponting wasn't an easy thing to do - but that's exactly what a 19-year-old Ishant Sharma did at the WACA in 2008

And here in India we had to bear Star Sports commentary

The time when social media didn't took over cricket...

"He persisted, he persisted and he has got the great wicket"
Iconic words

[ritishp]

It was a fascinating test series.. Man of the Series : Steve Buckner

[doublerebel]

What a commentary - "Got what a wicket, what a performance by a 19 year, he persisted, he persisted, he's got the great batsman"..

Then it was ishant's spell
Today it was siraj's spell
Time changes

One thing missing from this video is sehwag asking Ishant "ek aur dalega (will you bowl one more over in this spell" and you could hear it ever so clearly on stump mic. Anyways, hats off to whosoever is managing cricket australia's youtube channel, real nostalgia every day in some form

[ritikjalgaonkar]

Inswing ...outswing.. Inswing outswing... And then suddenly a length ball and cross seam ball. ... and Ponting is stunned

[rahulkaulvakil]

Remember watching this live while holding my breath with every ball. The commentary on this is pure gold. RIP Tony.

[tuks]

He swung the ball inside so many times that Ponting kind of did not expect it to go away...exceptional spell in an exceptional match!

[aretehouse]

Australian here, looking at the long list of comments by Indians: makes me love your country and its people.

Did anyone notice that guy in crowd in the background before Billy Bowden after the first lbw appeal. He tried to imitate Bowden and then quickly put his hand on his head. 😂
