Left-arm tearaway Sheldon Cottrell brought up 50 ODI wickets in the Covid-affected rubber against Australia. He accomplished the milestone in the very first over the match, having Ben McDermott nicking behind for a duck. It took him 37 games to register the feat.
A march and a salute from Cottrell ensued in keeping with his celebratory norm. Australia would go on to sink further as the top order disappointed, with Mitchell Marsh and Josh Phillipe both perishing in quick succession.
Cottrell opens the 1st over with a wicket! #WIvAUS #MenInMaroon
