Indian all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin has produced a contender for the worst review of all-time after coming up with a howler in Adelaide.

Australian superstar left-arm seamer Mitchell Starc trapped Ashwin plumb LBW on the first day of the second Test and the finger went straight up.
But in comical scenes, Ashwin sent it upstairs and replays confirmed it was pitching in line, hitting in line and rocketing into middle stump.
“That’s one of the best reviews I’ve seen,” former England captain Michael Vaughan said sarcastically on the Fox Cricket commentary.
“It may have been going under.
“He missed it by a few inches, it’s quick, it’s got length, late shape, and with that shape now, we’ve seen it so many times in Test match cricket, particularly with the pink ball.”
Mark Waugh described it “the ball of the century” during the inning break as India finished all out for 180.
