South Africa was 3-40 when Cummins stood at the top of his mark for his second spell of the innings, before the skipper took 2-14 from six overs to leave the tourists in a precarious position.
But while many thought the right-arm quick was about to unleash a short ball, he stunned just about all and sundry when he fired in a sizzling yorker that cannoned into Zondo's back leg.Pat Cummins produced a spell of bowling that helped put South Africa in a rocky position in the SCG Test. Cummins finished the day with 3-29 from 14 overs, but it's his second spell that has the cricket world raving.
"The fact that he went around the wicket, double bluff with the lbw of Zondo ... all of us who watched that were obviously waiting for another short ball, and I think Zondo was, as well, and then to get the yorker, right on the money, get it full enough so it didn't pitch outside leg ... was a terrific piece of bowling.""It was a great spell of fast bowling. And it's no surprise, either, because Pat does it regularly. He is a terrific fast bowler," Taylor said.
