An Indian-origin Australian journalist wrote, "Hope this isn’t how Shamar Joseph’s series comes to an end. But after being able to ground that foot for a couple of yards, you could see him give up on putting any pressure on it. Good to see the Gabba crowd clap him off"
One more user wrote, "Question - the delivery was a no-ball… so if indeed he is out for the game, should there be a rule to allow a replacement? A player can be replaced if he can’t avoid a perfectly legal bouncer… But if they’re taken out from a no ball, there’s nothing.Odd to me.."
Another user wrote, "A talented young bowler hope it’s nothing serious"
