Deep proves he can get Duckett out by getting him out (for the fourth time this series). And then, as the latter departs, he throws an arm around his shoulder in a manner that would, in many settings, occasion imminent violence.
Duckett, despite holding an actual bat, handles the unsolicited sympathy with irritated composure until KL Rahul intervenes to pull his teammate off.
During the lunch break broadcast, Sky Sports presenter Ian Ward is speaking about the incident to Ponting. “I can think of a few batsmen down the years that would take umbrage at this, and I’m looking very much in your direction,” Ward says. “That would have been a Ponting right hook, wouldn’t it?”
Ponting responds: “Probably yeah, probably.”
