Fri Dec 06 17:10:14 UTC 2024: ## Indian Bowler Siraj’s Speed Gun Glitch Causes Online Frenzy at Adelaide Test
**Adelaide, Australia** – The opening day of the second Test between India and Australia at the Adelaide Oval was filled with drama, both on and off the field. While Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj failed to take a wicket in his 10 overs, a technical glitch during the broadcast led to a widely circulated, erroneous speed reading of 181.6 kph (112.8 mph) for one of his deliveries. This sparked a flurry of memes and social media chatter, with many claiming a new world record had been set. However, the speed reading was later confirmed to be an error.
Adding to the day’s excitement, a spectator’s beer snake near the sight screen distracted Australian batsman Marnus Labuschagne, causing a tense exchange between Labuschagne and Siraj. The incident briefly disrupted the flow of play.
The match also experienced two separate power outages causing temporary interruptions to the play. Despite the power failures and the unusual speed-gun reading, play eventually resumed.
The day concluded without a wicket for Siraj, despite his impressive pace, and left fans with many talking points beyond the on-field action. The match continues.
