Freak incident spares Aussie skipper from embarrassing dismissal

Australia captain Meg Lanning looked set to be run out but the throw from India's Shikha Pandey miraculously bounced away from the stumps after it hit the box containing the stump microphone cables in the CommBank T20 Tri-Series Final

She should have straight away gone to a casino after this.

[niwalker]

It should have been a Dead ball after that deflection ..just like spider cam thing

[drdhakan]

Embarassing dismissal? that was a good full length dive! Haven't u seen our inzi?? :D

[yashsable]

After the Runout attempt Shika pandey be like :- 0:52
😂😂😂😂

[Hezklour]

She never saw what happened if you watch the replay closely. That is why she took the second run, can't accuse her of bad sportsman(woman) ship

[felicitysummers]

Gee interesting no one comments on the fact that Perry and batter collide could of been run out but the fielder holds onto the ball!! Just don’t all be one eyed!! That was sportsmanship.

[NathanAAASmith]

Any deflection off the stumps or otherwise should be a dead ball IMO.

[simandharr]

If that happened with Australians commentators would have gone crazy

[muhammedabidkt]

You Can't blame umpire
Can't blame fielder
Can't blame the batswomen
Just blame FATE....

[oifella]

Remembering our street cricket where we don't give out when throw hit on wicket stand

[adityajanardhanam]

This is the reason why everyone call Aussies as worst sportsmanship players. Instead of feeling happy for their luck, Aussie batwomen stole another single

[LoneWolf-ypqw]

Saved by technology has a whole new meaning

[virender]

Agar fielder Aussie hota to decision run out ya dead ball hota 2 run nahi

[himanshumalik]

Where was the sportsman spirit in taking the extra run on the overthrow 😑😑

[Banzybanz]

Hate when external objects that are there to help broadcast the sport interfere with the game itself. Same as the spider cam.
We can do away with both stump mics and spider cams.

[godwinnura]

She should have been given out, that would be the spirit of the game.

[saminder]

If not out, it should have been a dead ball nvm, the batting team is Australia, they can get away with anything and they even ran another run 😑

[senthilkumar-burp]

Second run was unsportsmanship... She should have avoided that run atleast

[alaapsarkar]

What would someone do if they were following the spirit of cricket?

[andy]

So the game is not determined by natural but is determined by how many listeners and viewers there are? It shows whats more important!
