In the game between Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars on Friday, Tim David’s Hobart batted first. The batsman from Singapore had struck a few blows and was helping his side finish on a high. In the last over, Tim David wanted most of the strike since the batter at the other end was not known for his big hits. David himself had done well until then and hence, his confidence was running high.
