Cartama (Spain): The European Cricket League keeps up producing hilarious moments on the field. The competition added one more to their collection as a fielding botch sent everyone into splits.
In a video from the fixture between Independent Cricket Club and Donaustadt is making the waves. Donaustad opted to bat first and scored 147/4 from 10 overs. Later, they restricted the opposition at 133/5 and won the game by 14 runs. However, a hilarious fielding effort in the match became the talk of the town soon.
The incident occurred in the first over of the second inning, as the bowler threw a wide ball and the wicketkeeper failed to collect the ball. The delivery bounced in front of him and went between his legs towards the boundary. However, a fielder showed his best effort stopping the ball just a boundary line and went beyond the skirting after the effort.
He then came running back inside the ropes to collect the ball but a twist in the tale was yet to occur. In a goof-up, the fielder tried to fetch the ball for a throw but it slipped from his hands and went beyond the boundary line gifting four runs to the opposition. "Craziest bit of cricket," the commentator said after the incident.
