WATCH: CRICKETER COMMITS HUGE MISTAKE ON FIELD, MISSES AN EASY RUN-OUT!

At the recent Day 3 of the first Test in Perth, Australia Test captain Tim Paine fumbled an easy run-out chance which is currently making him famous. After that blunder in the match gave New Zealand wicketkeeper BJ Watling an early life. 

In the video, which is currently grabbing headlines, Watling can be seen taking a second run. Seconds later, he was left stranded in the middle of the pitch after Ross Taylor did not want to run back. Within that time, Nathan Lyon collected the ball and threw it towards the striker's end.

Tim Paine, who was standing right there was not able to collect the ball and it fell of his gloves; between all this-Watling made it safely!

The video was posted by Cricket Australia on their official Twitter handle.

After the video went viral, fans were in no mood to forgive the Australian Test skipper for his easiest of chances behind the stumps.

According to NDTV sports report, Tim Paine took over as Australia captain after Steve Smith and David Warner were banned in the infamous ball-tampering scandal.

An early chance goes by!
