Pat Cummins' perfect off-cutter sends back a well-set Glenn Phillips to the pavilion

Pat Cummins had picked up wicket of a well-set Glenn Phillips with a dream delivery on Day 3 of third and final Test match against New Zealand at Sydney Cricket Ground. Cummins took his revenge after Phillips had dispatched him into stands earlier in day.

Pat Cummins has last laugh

This had happened in 88th over of New Zealand's first innings. On final delivery, Cummins had bowled a fuller length delivery as Phillips had attempted to play a straight drive. However, ball went through bat and pat and ended up disturbing timber. By virtue of this dream delivery, top-ranked Test bowler had helped his team in providing a vital breakthrough as a well-set batsman was dismissed.

''Oh! Bowled em. Cummins gets last laugh as he so often does. This is one cracking delivery. An absolute beauty to a guy who has played him superbly. It's a dream delivery to end a dreamish start for Glenn Philips. Just have a look at this move back of seam and hits top of off. A perfect off-cutter from Pat Cummins,'' said commentators on air.

video of Cummins' dream delivery was posted by Cricket Australia on ir official Twitter handle. Take a look.
