Cricket is a funny game, they say. Every time one tends to believe that they have seen everything, the game surprises everyone with another new instance. A hilarious incident happened during the Australia vs West Indies 2nd Test in Adelaide.
After winning the toss on Day of the 2nd Test, the hosts opted to bat first. The No. 1 Test batter Marnus Labuschagne scored yet another century after a brilliant back-to-back century in the 1st Test. David Warner (21), Usman Khawaja (62) too played quick knock but Steve Smith could not get a go on his return as stand-in Test skipper.
Travis Head however remained unbeaten as he neared his double hundred in the ongoing 2nd Test after the Session 1. What grabbed the eyeballs was Devon Thomas who was called in to bowl the 113th over of the first innings, lost his shoe while bowling.
On the first ball of the 113th over, Devon bowled a full and outside off. After his throw, he lost his shoe as he tumbled on the ground. However, Head dig it out towards outside-off with a no run ball.
