Mohd Asif, who has had to endure some turbulent times recently, has made a splendid comeback to international cricket. He came close to achieving a hat-trick today. Earlier in the day, Ricky Ponting won the toss and decided to bat on a grassy pitch.
What followed was unbelievable as Sami claimed the first three wickets with very little on the board. Ponting got a first ball duck after playing the hook shot. Opening batsmen Phil Hughes [0] and Shane Watson [6] flopped too.
Watching Sami, Asif got inspired to claim Michael Clarke [3], Mike Hussey [28] and Marcus North [10]. The first morning saw Australia profit from two decision referrals.
