Labu dropped by Buttler. Straighforward catch but shelled.

This happens when your keeper is selected mainly because of his batting.
Yes, fantastic catch of Harris but 2 shells, since, sees Buttler looking for a hole to disappear into.

Brings to mind 'Old Irongloves', Rod Marsh.
Hit good runs in Shield but dropped vital chances in his early Tests. To his great credit, he worked tirelessly to improve as a 'keeper, becoming one of our very best.
Bear in mind, this was the bloke who kept to Lillian Thompson's thunderbolts.

Fast bowlers Mark Steketee and Scott Boland have joined Australia's Test squad in Adelaide as officials seek clarification on the training protocols available to skipper Pat Cummins during his seven-day COVID quarantine period.
The pair flew in early this afternoon and arrived at Adelaide Oval hauling their cricket kits soon after debutant Michael Neser received his Baggy Green cap as Cummins' late replacement on day one of the second Vodafone Ashes Test.

Root is lucky they don't ban you for in now. They lost about 27k per player last test. They only got 2 wickets so being short is not good enough.
Annoying opposition supporters since 1967.

Another sensation.
Robinson gets Labu to edge to the 'keeper. Walking off.
NO-BALL !!
Resumes his innings.
2/240.

But Marnus went lbw to Robinson for 103. He reviewed - but didn’t play a shot and the review showed the ball cannoning into middle stump. Presently 3/260. Smith is 32* and Head is 11*.
