BIZARRE VIDEO! BATSMAN TAKES SINGLE RUN DURING BBL 2020 MATCH WITH BALL HIDDEN IN SWEATER
Home > News Shots > SportsDuring the recent Big Bash League (BBL) 2020 game, Melbourne Stars batsman Nick Larkin was involved in a bizarre incident. The match was against Melbourne Stars and Sydney Thunder at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.
The incident took place in the final over of Stars' innings when Larkin sweeped off a full delivery from Daniel Sams, but the ball got hid in his jersey, leaving the fielders searching for the ball.
While searching for the ball, the right-handed batsman decided to steal a quick single after realising that the ball had got stuck inside his jersey. Soon after that the on-field umpires decided to disallow the run, sending Larkin back on strike.
The official Twitter handle of the Big Bash League took to twitter and said: "Hide the ball and run! Bit cheeky here from Nick Larkin... A @KFCAustralia Bucket Moment | #BBL10".
Surprisingly, Larkin ran out of luck on the very next delivery and was cleaned up by a slower yorker from Daniel Sams. He departed after scoring a 14-ball 15 run. Sams also dismissed Adam Zampa on the fourth delivery of the final over.
