Cricket Viral Video: The third game of the ongoing Big Bash League 2022-23 between the Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat at Cazaly’s Stadium in Cairns on Thursday, December 15, saw a really peculiar and unique incident.
Bails fell on the ground by their own
After being given the opportunity to bat, Renegades captain Nic Maddinson went on the attack, but there appeared to be a hiccup on the second ball of Mark Stekette’s ninth over, when the bails came off as the batter went into his shot. Maddinson mistimed the draw towards fine leg as Steketee threw one short and turned it towards his body. The batter began to leave after the bails were taken off, thinking he had been out hit-wicket.
However, it was clear from replays that neither Maddinson’s body nor the bat made any contact with the bail; instead, it fell on its own. Before being bowled by left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann in the 18th over of the innings, Maddinson had made 87 off 49 balls, including 10 fours and three sixers. He was 43 off 23 at that point when the incident happened.

Speaking on the incident, former New Zealand wicketkeeper Ian Smith said “Oh what’s happened there? What’s it come off? The bails have just come off.”
Continuing further, he said “All I can think is when his back foot swivelled round and made contact with the ground, it shook the ground. Maybe it wasn’t that stable, because it looked when he put that back foot down closest to the stumps, the bail fell off. Who knows? Spooky.”
