Umpire Claire Polosak signalled dead ball, and so Dar not-out. The Aussies didn't seem to complain too much on-field, but commentators suggested she should have been walking back to the pavilion.<\/p>\n

She was a long way into her action," Mel Jones said in commentary for Fox Sports.<\/p>\n "I reckon Nida Dar has gone down into her stance, McGrath has come in to bowl, and I think she's just been spooked by the fact she was in her bowling stride and so decided to pull out."<\/p>\n Replays showed Dar with her head down as McGrath ran in to bowl, and only looked up once she was well into her delivery stride.<\/p>\n "As a batter, I was always under the impression that when you were in your stance and tapped your bat down, you were ready to accept the delivery," former Australian captain Rachael Haynes said.<\/p>\n "Nida Dar needs to be a bit careful there. (She) had already tapped her bat down."<\/p>\n Social media reaction was also swift, with many suggesting Dar should have been given out.<\/p>\n But former Australian better Alex Blackwell disagreed. <\/p>\n \ufeff"I thought that was fair – she didn't see the ball," she said.<\/p>\n Dar was on just five at the time, and went on to make 29 before Annabel Sutherland had her caught by Beth Mooney.<\/p>\n Pakistan eventually finished the innings at 7-235, giving Australia a 101-run victory and a series clean sweep.<\/p>\n Earlier, a spectacular century from Beth Mooney led the Aussie innings.<\/p>\n Mooney dominated the Pakistani attack, and took particular liking to spinner Tuba Hassan.<\/p>\n She spanked the first three balls of Hassan's sixth over – the 35th of Australia's innings – over deep mid wicket for six.<\/p>\n While the first only just cleared North Sydney Oval's relatively small boundaries, the next two would've been six anywhere in the world – both landing on the roof.<\/p>\n In fact, the second had enough on it to trickle over the famous green roof and out of the ground.<\/p>\n "If you find yourself driving down Miller Street in the next few overs, I hope you've got car insurance," Mel Jones said in commentary for Fox Sports.<\/p>\n The Aussies finished their 50 overs at 8-336.<\/p>\n For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by <\/strong><\/em>clicking here<\/strong><\/em><\/a>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n
