A Hobart Hurricanes all-rounder knew he needed to get back on strike, but his bonehead move has backfired in the worst way possible.
Gilchrist and Vaughan were also perplexed at David’s oversight, which ultimately cost the Hurricanes five runs and gifted the Stars that same value of runs to begin their innings without facing a ball.
Upon consulting the cricket rule book, Gilchrist and Vaughan were in agreement of the umpire’s decision.“I would say it’s not really in the spirit of the game, whatever that means,” Gilchrist said.Gilly was also quick to praise the umpires for knowing the rules. “Good umpiring. We’re quick to say in the Big Bash League, where there’s no DRS, we point out all the errors umpires make,” Gilchrist said.The commentary duo also consulted Hurricanes star Peter Handscomb on the matter.“Never seen it,” Handscomb said. “It’s a bit interesting to see that it was five runs.”“He was just trying to get back to his end,” Handscomb said.Stars coach David Hussey was equally “perplexed” at what had happened.
“Great use of your thought process to get back on strike, I thought it was very clever,” Hussey said.“Fortunately, common sense prevailed.”
