Watch: "Caught Snoozing" - Inattentive Batter Gets Run Out In Hilarious Manner In European Cricket
European Cricket has shared a video on social media in which an inattentive batter gets run out, giving rise to a hilarious dismissal.
It is the beauty of sports that it is a mixture of both - the serious moments as well as some hilarious ones. The game of cricket is not an exception! At times we see some tense and tight matches, while sometimes it is the funny events that take the centre stage. European Cricket has shared a video on social media in which an inattentive batter gets run out, giving rise to a hilarious dismissal. However, credit for the run-out also goes to some smart work from the wicketkeeper.
A right-handed batter steers a fuller delivery down the leg side. He takes a single but fails to make it a couple. Carelessness in running meant that the batter remained short of his crease at the non-striker's end as the wicketkeeper collected the fielder's throw at striker's end and smartly hit the stumps at the other end.
Watch the dismissal here:
