Twitter reacts as commentators laugh uncontrollably after non-striker sets off for run before ball is bowled
The European Cricket League is going on now and an hilarious incident from one of the matches left everyone in splits including commentators. A batter backing up at non-striker’s end started sprinting for the run even before the bowler bowled delivery and covered almost three-fourth of the pitch.
The haste to take runs creates a lot of drama and action on the cricket field. European Cricket always produces some unique moments and this time around it was a hilarious incident. In a match of European Cricket League, batter’s actions left everyone in splits.
The incident occured in the last over of the innings. Batter at the non-striker’s end backed up too much and started sprinting for a run even before the bowler had bowled the delivery. He almost covered the three-fourth of the pitch and realized his mistake late. However, the bowler chose not to run him out and displayed a brilliant gesture in the spirit of the game.
Here is how Twitter reacted to the incident.
LOL!
