The Australia Domestic One-Day Cup 2021-22 went underway on 22nd September with South Australia and Western Australia locking horns with each other. The fans were entertained with class batting in both the matches that have been played so far. The second match of the tournaments also witnessed a hilarious incident where three Australian fielders mess up a relay catch.
South Australia captain Travis Head won the toss and opted to bat first and that proved to be a great decision for his team and for himself as well. The South Australia skipper played a sizzling knock of 230, for which he took only 127 deliveries. His inning was laced with 28 boundaries and 8 maximums. Apart from his inning, he was also involved in a comical incident where three Australian fielders mess up a relay catch.
South Australian fielders mess up a relay catch
The incident happened in the 37th over of the Queensland inning when Brendan Doggett was bowling to Michael Neser. The batsman went for a big hit towards the deep square leg region and Travis Head ran after the ball to take the catch, however, he couldn’t stop himself and went over the ropes. He was surrounded by two fielders and tried to pass the ball to one of them. Unfortunately, all the three South Australian fielders mess up a relay catch.
Bit going on here… 🤣🤔

The batsman was given six runs as the catch wasn’t legitimate. This was surely an effort that triggered a lot of laughter and nothing else. The video of the same has been doing the rounds on the internet. The target of 392 proved to be an uphill task for Queensland as they fell short of 68 runs from the victory. The third match of the tournament will be played on 15th October between Western Australia and Tasmania.
