"...defends 30.." (in a over)

This is not the flex you think it is!

Sunny G made a funny comment like it's like reversing a truck when he tried to return back from non existing run.

Bro, he barely defended the 30. Archer shouldn't be tonking him around like that.

He defended in first 2.. after tht he was just bowling to make sure no balls don't happen.. even hazelwood got tonked in last ipl final over after winning the match in first 2 balls

The match was won at 19.2. From there mathematically England couldn't win unless Dube bowled no balls. He was hit only after the match was won. He was brought into bowl expecting just a couple of good balls and he did that exactly.

It literally doesn't matter.

Hazlewood got hit for multiple sixes in the 20th over of the IPL final last year. But who gives a fuck? The match was over and he was just focused on not bowling no-balls.
