Video: Peter Nevill’s brilliant stumping against Sri Lankan batsman

Australian wicketkeeper Peter Nevill showed  a brilliant presence of mind  to stump Sri Lankan batsman Dimuth Karunaratne in the third Test at Colombo. The brilliant stumping brought back the memories of T20 World Cup where Indian skipper MS Dhoni did something similar against Bangladesh.

Nevill stumped  Sri Lankan batsman in the 14th over. Karunaratne was well beaten outside off stump by a sharp delivery from spinner Nathan Lyon and he idly  lifted his back foot a second later. Sensing an opportunity Nevill whipped off the bails and appealed to the umpire. Following a review, Karunaratne was given out stumped for 22.

Meanwhile, the stumping has not gone down well with some fans and they took to Twitter to express their disappointment.

However, Nevill’s illustrious compatriot and one of the finest wicketkeepers of all time, Adam Gilchrist seemed fine with the dismissal while former pacer Mitchell Johnson praised Nevill on Twitter, calling the dismissal “game awareness.”
