Travis Head takes a brilliant catch at silly point, celebrates it with ‘Baby Shark’
On the fourth delivery of 40th over, Nathan Lyon bowled a tossed up delivery outside off stump to Henry Nicolls. The ball hit the batsman’s pads and went up in the air for a short time.
Meanwhile, Travis Head, who was positioned at silly point, reacted quickly and just managed to get his fingers﷽ undern♒eath the ball before it touched the ground.
The u🥃mpire ruled him out instantly, but Nicholls was not convinced as the matter was referred to the third umpire. The TV ump🐎ire then asked the on-field umpire to stay with his original decision as a stunned Nicholls went back to the pavilion.
Travis Head was delighted to hang onto this catch – and he celebrated with a bit of Baby Shark! 🦈 |
