Cricket: Mohamed Aamer took 5 Wickets in one over


In this T20 World cup Pakistan Cricketer Mohamed Aamer took 5wkts in one over.That prestigious over is a maiden over. Ball by Ball description is below-

Ball -1 M Aamer to B Haddin, OUT! EDGE! Length delivery outside, Haddin has edged that one, trying to play the cut. That is easy pickings for Sami who makes no mistake at short third man. Australia have lost their sixth wicket and the fall continues.

Ball-2 M Aamer to M Johnson, OUT! BOWLED HIM! A stunning yorker in the block hole, Aamer has cleaned up Johnson with that peach of a delivery. Australia have lost their seventh wicket as another one bites the dust.

Ball- 3 M Aamer to S Smith, OUT! TEAM HAT-TRICK! RUN OUT! Smith was beaten and missed the line of the delivery. They decided to take a bye and a direct hit by Akmal sends Hussey back to the pavillion. Australia have lost three in three now.

Ball-4 M Aamer to D Nannes, OUT! ANOTHER RUN OUT! FOUR IN FOUR! Full deliver, Nannes fails to put bat on ball and they again decide to take a bye. Akmal again hits his target and Australia lose their ninth wicket. Unbelievable!

Ball-5 M Aamer to S Tait, Length delivery outside off, Tait was beaten completely. No, they aren't taking a bye this time. Finally a dot ball. Chances of a maiden over.

Ball-6 M Aamer to S Tait, Clean Bowled. Aamir took third wicket

What a Performance! I think this is the first MAIDEN over of the 20th over in T-20. He took five wkts in six balls (including 2 runouts) .What a record!
