BBL 2016/17: Top 5 moments from the Brisbane Heat-Hobart Hurricanes clash

#4 George Bailey’s hilarious run-out

Bailey had to dive into the crease after his bat got stuck in the turf

There are quite a few unlucky ways to get yourself run-out. From the ball grazing the bowler’s hands on its way to the non-striker’s end to paying the price for your partner’s mistake, the list goes on. But, George Bailey somehow managed an even more bizarre dismissal.

After Daniel Christian had cut Ben Cutting past the backward point fielder, three runs appeared to be up for grabs. However, as Alex Ross’ throw came in, Bailey’s bat got stuck on the turf for a brief moment. The wicket-keeper Jimmy Peirson, who had his back to the batsman, removed the bails just in time to render the dive irrelevant.
