After the dismissal of opener Matty Hurst, England pair Salt and Jos Buttler got Originals off to a decent start, taking their side to 49-1 after 26 deliveries.<\/p>\n
But Originals breached the ropes on just four occasions from that point, as the Brave bowlers successfully throttled their opponents.<\/p>\n
Mills was parsimonious while also accounting for Originals’ three most dangerous batters.<\/p>\n
He had Buttler caught at deep cover from his second ball, and induced a leading edge from the big-hitting Heinrich Klaasen for a caught behind.<\/p>\n
Having reached 60 from 39, Originals captain Salt would have felt he was in a position to push on with 20 balls remaining.<\/p>\n
He hit the next Mills delivery for four, but the Brave veteran struck again next up, sending down a bouncer Salt pulled to short fine leg.<\/p>\n
Originals handed Hundred debuts to 43-year-old James Anderson and 17-year-old rising star Farhan Ahmed, but both went wicketless, with 24-year-old Currie the key bowler.<\/p>\n
Anderson took the ball from the start of the Brave innings, but ex-England batter Jason Roy had his measure, hitting five boundaries off the veteran’s bowling, as Anderson finished with figures of 0-36.<\/p>\n
Currie dismissed Leus du Plooy to end a promising 32-run second-wicket partnership, before removing Laurie Evans and later Chris Jordan and Michael Bracewell in the space of three balls.<\/p>\n
His efforts seemed to have put his side on course to win, but the Brave tailed wagged to pull off a remarkable victory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the dismissal of opener Matty Hurst, England pair Salt and Jos Buttler got Originals off to a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":49036,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":["post-49035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cricket","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49035"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49035\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/49036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=49035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=49035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
