The 4th Ashes Test match between Australia and England ended in a movie like thriller as England somehow managed to grind out a draw in the last couple of minutes, with a wicket left.
Australian cricket team were looking to keep their winning momentum going after having won the first 3 matches of the series, meaning that they had also won the series with 2 matches to go.
England have had a pretty disastrous Ashes campaign this year, where the team struggled in all departments, but it is the batting department that was a big concern.
But the story was whole lot a different in the last few minutes of the 4th Test. England batsmen fought for their life as they grind out the draw. England kept on losing wickets, but it was after that Cummins took 2 wickets in the 85th over, that the English showed resilience with the bat, as the tail stayed out on the pitch for 17 overs and having lost only 2 wickets.
Former Indian fielding coach R Sridhar, Ramakrishnan Sridhar, took to the Twitter few minutes before the match ended, talking about the scenes when at least 8 players were called short in search of the 10th wicket.
Reacting to that moment, Ri Sridhar tweeted that the moment bring back a nostalgic memory from back in January when Indian batsman Ashwin and Vihari played heroes knock for India at the SCG to draw the match.
Can’t help but get nostalgic about this situation here at the @scg @ECB_cricket could do with @ashwinravi99 & @Hanumavihari here 😉#Ashes#rivettingtestmatchcricket
