Watch: Riley Meridith shatters Josh Brown’s stumps with a cracking yorker
The Big Bash League (BBL) has been a wonderful tournament to watch so far and cricket has been thoroughly entertaining. The availability of top Australian stars in the tournament such as David Warner, Usman Khawaja, and Steve Smith has added to the charm. Khawaja plays for Brisbane Heat, Warner plays for Sydney Thunder and Steve Smith plays for Sydney Sixers.
In the 49th match between the Heat and the Hurricanes, Heat won the toss and opted to bowl first against the Hobart Hurricanes. Josh Brown was the first to go in the last ball of the first over for a duck, he was bowled by Riley Meredith with a cracking yorker. Meredith had set up Brown beautifully and ended up dismissing him. The right-arm fast bowler’s pace was too hot to handle for Brown as he followed the away swingers with one that came back in late.

Brown was caught on the crease as he drove the ball. The ball crashed onto the stumps when it went past the inside edge. Usman Khawaja fell to Faheem Ashraf via a caught-and-bowled after he had scored 18 off 17 balls with three fours. Marnus Labuschagne made 28 off 25 balls with two fours; he was caught by Zak Crawley off the bowling of Joel Paris.
