WATCH, ADT10 | Quirky Pollard shocks everyone with unusual stance by standing behind the crease

Following a wide delivery at the start of the ninth over, Odean bowled consecutive full and widish deliveries against his former national captain. Although Pollard got one towards long off, he hesitated to expose the tail by denying a run. Subsequently, the all-rounder failed to make a connection in the next couple of deliveries with the third ball being denied wide from the umpire leaving Pollard unpleased. Eventually, on the fifth ball of the over, the power-hitter shuffled across the line and went so deep inside the crease that he was seen targeting a heave off a back of a length stuff from outside the mark. Although he missed on getting a bat to it, Pollard’s inventive measures kept the Twitterverse buzzing.
