Where to start…<\/p>\n

Rival captains Virat Kohli and Matthew Wade combined for one of cricket's more bizarre dismissals in the second T20 at the SCG tonight.<\/a><\/p>\n

Wade – captaining Australia for an injured Aaron Finch – was absolutely flying at the top of the order, belting a rapid 58 before floating a leading edge in Kohli's direction.<\/p>\n

\"Wade<\/p>\n

But for the second straight match Kohli – one of the safer pair of hands in world cricket – spilled a sitter as he juggled unsuccessfully.<\/p>\n

If Wade and batting partner Steve Smith had just run through normally, they would have easily completed a single.<\/p>\n

But Wade, assuming Kohli would snare the easy grab, was instead staring mid-pitch at his bat, wondering where it had all gone wrong.<\/p>\n

\"Matthew<\/p>\n

An embarrassed Kohli remained alert to the run out opportunity and as a confused Wade eventually woke up to the situation, KL Rahul whipped off his bails.<\/p>\n

Wade glared back at Smith – who was overlooked for the captaincy –<\/a> but only had himself to blame.<\/p>\n

"That's not international cricket of the highest quality," Adam Gilchrist said on Fox Cricket.<\/p>\n

\"Virat<\/p>\n

"Complete confusion from the batsmen.<\/p>\n

'Roll the Benny Hill music over the top of that."<\/p>\n

Fellow commentator Mark Waugh summed it up as "under-10s stuff."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
