AUS v SA 2018: WATCH- Pat Cummins' priceless reaction after David Miller's wicket

Cummins couldn't believe Australia had actually got the wicket.

Pat Cummins' reaction is totally different from that of Marcus Stoinis

Like the bit of vintage Australian team, when the Aussie batsman couldn't stand up for them, their bowlers did the job during the second ODI against South Africa at Adelaide Oval. Australia won the game by 7 runs and leveled the series 1-1 with another game to go.

The seven-loss in a row losing streak was broken after Marcus Stoinis picked up three wickets at a crucial time. South Africa need 232 to win in fifty overs, but a shaky start didn't help them. The visitors lost four wickets in the first 15 overs.

However, a partnership between skipper Faf Du Plessis and David Miller of 74 runs revamped South Africa's chances of winning the game. But unfortunately, that was it for the Proteas, as they added no good partnership after that, except for a 32 runs stand for the sixth wicket.

The game really turned in Australia's favor when Australia managed to get South Africa's last hope, Miller. The batsman was given not out on a huge LBW call, but skipper Aaron Finch decided to call for a review and that turned the game.

Australia secured the game from there, and eventually restricted South Africa to 224/9 in fifty overs.

What grabbed more attention than the wicket of Miller is the reaction of Australian players after the decision was overturned in a DRS call. It was hilarious. Especially Pat Cummins.

The Aussie pacer said, “I was a bit slow. I probably have not done the bowlers much of a favor. You know, we always try to say we are the smart ones. I thought there had to be something else like D-R … what is it? Snicko or something had to come up?”

He further added, “I had no idea what was going on, and everyone just started celebrating."

Glenn Maxwell added that Cummins took a few more replays to realize that Australia has got the wicket. “You didn’t start celebrating until three or four more replays, and then you were like, ‘oh, we got a wicket’,” Maxwell added.
