VIDEO | Cameron Bancroft drops catch and fumbles easy stumping chance to dismiss Sam Harper on one ball
MS Dhoni has made the job description of a wicketkeeper look cool ever since he walked in to play his first game. However, the job was never easy as Australiaâs Cameron Bancroft found out the hard way when he made a total mess of a catch and an easy stumping on a single ball Melbourne Renegades.
Perth Scorchers slumped to a disappointing 78-run defeat at the hands of Melbourne Renegades in their Big Bash League encounter on Monday at the newly constructed stadium in Perth. However, the end result could have been much different for the home team had certain things gone their way during the game.

And it seemed like Mitchell Marshâs decision had the desired effect as Qadirâs very first delivery provided the hostsâ with a wicket-taking opportunity. However, Scorchersâ wicket-keeper, Cameron Bancroft, failed to make the most of the chance.
A beautiful Qadir delivery managed to deceive on-strike batsman Harper with an elevated height clipped the inside edge of the bat and went straight into the hands of Bancroft. While the Aussie star failed to collect the ball cleanly, he still had enough time to whip off the bails. However, the Australian cricketer fell to the ground as he tried to dislodge the bails by which time Harper made his way back to the crease. It was such an awkward attempt that Bancroft never got close to getting a touch on the wickets.
