VIDEO | Daniel Sams loses control to “worst ball in cricket history” to square leg
You must have watched a lot of bad balls, worst wides too but I can bet, you never have and never will see a delivery as bad as the one Daniel Sams bowled today. Bowling the last ball of the first over, Sams threw the ball miles away from the leg side, with it dropping in front of the leg umpire.
Big Bash League is a theatre of many theatrics, mostly funny and sometimes calamitous. A tournament designed to promote cricket and give instant fun was hardly going to care about anything else. The ninth season started and boy, what is in the store? If you wondered what more, then here we come, or rather here we have Daniel Sams for you to showcase some skill set.
With Brisbane Heat chasing a target of 173 runs, the onus was on the duo of Tom Banton and Max Bryant to get the hosts off to a good start. They started well too, with Banton hitting two consecutive sixes on the third and fourth ball of the over, and Sams wanted to bowl a drifter to the Somerset prodigy.
Let alone bowling the drifter, what was on show during that ball was one for the ages - whenever you are down, you can go and watch this and would find joy in your life almost instantaneously. The New South Wales pacer lost control on the ball and sent the ball miles into the leg-stump. It landed in front of the square-leg umpire and think what, nobody could control their laughs. Not even Sams.
Umm, what? Daniel Sams almost bowled this ball out of the circle completely 😑@KFCAustralia | #BBL09 pic.twitter.com/In0fNZubTf
