George Bailey Stuns Everyone with His Unique Batting Style

On the first day of the seventh match between Tasmania and Victoria of the ongoing season of the Sheffield Shield in Hobart, experienced Tasmania batsman George Bailey was seen batting in a unique style against Victoria speedster Chris Tremain.

In the 25th over of the game in Tasmanian innings, George Bailey nearly showed his back to the fast bowler who was coming to throw the delivery. At the last moment, he took an orthodox batting position to play the ball and eventually managed to pull a short delivery from Chris Tremain.

However, this was not the first time that George Bailey has done something new with his batting style. The veteran batsman earlier has experienced similar batting techniques in international cricket also and that too successfully. Having won the toss and put the visitors into bat, Matthew Wade, and co. successfully bowled Victoria out for 127 in 41.5 overs.

While coming in to bat at No. 5 in the 19th over, Nic Maddinson scored a well-made 69 off 68 for Victoria which included five fours and six sixes. Alex Pycroft and Jackson Bird were the pick of the bowlers for Tasmania as they both scalped three wickets each

George Bailey, on the other hand, came in to bat at No. 5 in the 15th over and ended up scoring 41 off 67 deliveries with the help of six boundaries before getting dismissed by Victoria spinner Jon Holland.

At the time of writing this article, the Tasmania trail by only 9 runs before the stumps. With the Australian all-rounder, Matthew Wade is there in the middle, the home team will certainly hope for taking a decent lead in the first innings. As there are three more days left in the game, a tough competition is expected as well.

The next game of the Sheffield Shield 2019-20 season will be played between South Australia and New South Wales which will begin from November 1 in Adelaide.
