Watch: The funniest field set ever by Australia for Ishant Sharma

Watch: The funniest field set ever by Australia for Ishant Sharma: India was struggling at 63/9 in the 15^th over when Australia tried to put pressure on already sinking Indian batting line-up. Even the best of batsman will stand in confusion, treating a tail ender with a field like that is torture. The Australian side set-up the funniest as well as the toughest field for Indian pacer Ishant Sharma.

Adam Vogues was on a hat-trick and had immense chance of grabbing it with Ishant on strike, and the Indian side with no hope to hold on to. Australian captain Clarke tried to support his bowler by setting a field that is one of a kind and has never happened in the history of cricket.

Eight players including, the wicket-keeper standing around the batsman. 2 slips and a gully with the wicket-keeper behind, a leg slip, short mid-point, a silly mid-off and a short cover an attacking bowler who is on a hat-trick and a bowler on strike you can imagine the height of excitement that must be around the field. There was not a chance that the ball could be hit for a run. Cricket is really a game of action and unpredictability. This field setting is a proof.
