Mick Lewis' expensive day

Most cricket fans remember Mick Lewis, the former Australia fast bowler, for his 0 for 113 in the famous 438 chase in the deciding ODI between South Africa and Australia in Johannesburg six years ago. He talks to Aditya Iyer about that spell, in the Indian Express.

“I bowled six perfect yorkers in my final over, but still went for 17. If any of those inside edges or french cuts went an inch this way or that, Boucher would have been bowled or caught by Gilly,” he says. “That’s the nature of cricket, and life. It throws a lot of challenges at you. You have got to learn to stand up after a good beating.”
