This become one of the special moment so far in the league. This match was played between Brisbane Heat and Melbourne Stars at the Carrara Oval.
It all happened in the second ball of the second over when Brisbane Heat opening batsmen Tom Banton and Max Bryant were on the crease. Meanwhile, Tom Banton swept visiting spinner Sandeep Lamichhane towards deep square leg. There was no fielder placed at the boundary and the ball was easily reached to the boundary line.
While the Heat’s mascot was sitting near the boundary line, he didn’t make the effort to throw back the ball. And Adam Zampa, who was fielding inside the circle on the leg-side, has to run all the way to get back the ball. This made the Australian Leg Spinner to tease the Heat’s mascot and gave the impression of scaring the mascot as he picked the ball and gestured as if he was about to throw it towards the mascot.
The visiting spinner didn’t seem to be happy with the hosts’ mascot. In the video, we can see the reaction of the spinner, however, more epic was mascot’s reaction. Here we are sharing the video of the incident at the end of this article.
