Lockie Ferguson may have actually had a chance.
Lost in the absurdity of Australia’s enthralling win over New Zealand, footage has emerged of a costly final-over call.
The second ball of the final over was a shocker from Starc, who threw it down the leg side for a wide that raced away for four, taking five runs off the required target with six balls still remaining.It was near disaster for Australia.

Neesham failed to make good contact as he cross-bat slogged the full toss out to Marnus Labuschagne at deep mid-wicket. Labuschagne’s crisp throw to keeper Josh Inglis was enough to catch Neesham well short as he attempted to bolt back for a second run.However, if the call had been made, Ferguson would have arrived at the crease with New Zealand needing five runs from two deliveries.
The reunited duo, after Head came back from his broken hand, bullied the Kiwi bowlers, including taking 118 runs from the first 10 overs, the third most expensive first 10 overs in history.
