Video: Suresh Raina backs away James Faulkner delivery & Glenn Maxwell finds a way to troll him

In the 1st T20 International against India and Australia, Suresh Raina was bowled in the 9th over, when he was on strike on 14 runs but survived as he moved away before facing the ball. After sending the first ball off Faulkner over for a boundary, he waited until very late to pull out of a shot as Faulkner steamed in to bowl the second delivery. Raina looked prepared for the delivery but Raina backs away at the last moment when Faulkner released the final delivery.

Faulkner was alreay in his delivery stridewhen Raina moved away form he stumps, pulling out just as the bal left the bowler's hand. The ball hit the stumps but was called as dead ball by the Umpire.

Maxwell saw strange similarities between the infamous dismissals and the one Suresh Raina got out with. He tweeted that should have used Raina's excuse in the match.
