Members of the Bowlers’ Union might want to look away now. This week on Caught on Camera we take a look at three video clips that left the bowler wishing the ground would open up and swallow them.
Taking Some Tap
Being carted to the boundary in Twenty20 cricket is par for the course for bowlers these days, but Hobart Hurricanes batsman Travis Birt took things to a whole new level in this Big Bash League encounter against Melbourne Stars. Spare a thought for seamer Clint McKay – an Aussie international, no less – who was clattered for 20 runs in one delivery (yes, one delivery!).
Too Good (Start The Dance)
There’s nothing a fast bowler hates more than being hammered straight back over his head for six by a tailender, but that’s exactly what Indian tearaway Sreesanth did to Andre Nel. And he wasn’t done there. Never the calmest chap at the best of times, the South Africa seamer had steam coming out his ears as Sreesanth delivered a celebratory dance that was as baffling as it was beautiful.
Filth From Hilf
And finally this week, here’s one from our friends at WorldSportBloopers.com. With the Ashes already relinquished things were going from bad to worse for the Aussie bowlers at the SCG when Ben Hilfenhaus delivered this stinker of a delivery that posed more threat to himself than the batsman at the other end.
