There’s very rarely a dull moment in the Big Bash<\/a> and that was proven to be true once again on Monday night during the Brisbane Heat<\/a>‘s game against the Sydney Sixers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the first innings in Coffs Harbour, young gun batter Hugh Weibgen was at the crease when seventh wicket fell, bringing spinner Matt Kuhnemann to the crease.<\/p>\n

As the new batter was making his way out, Weibgen asked for a fresh set of gloves to be brought out to the middle for him to change mid-innings.<\/p>\n

However, once the Sixers were ready to continue bowling and Kuhnemann was out there ready to mark centre, Weibgen had to stop play and signalled to the Heat dugout.<\/p>\n

“I have no idea what’s going on here at the moment,” former Australian star Shane Watson<\/a> said on Fox Cricket commentary.<\/p>\n

“It looks like he was given the wrong gloves at the fall of wicket.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

One of the Heat substitute players then ran out the right-handed pair of gloves for Weibgen as the players and commentators watched on in disbelief.<\/p>\n

“This is absolutely bizarre,” Michael Hussey<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

“I’ve seen it once before in a Test match when Ishant Sharma was trying to waste time, so he deliberately brought out the wrong pair of gloves.”<\/p>\n

Weibgen finished with 24 off 25 deliveries in tough conditions on the NSW north coast, with the Heat only managing to score 9-114 from their 20 overs.<\/p>\n

Joel Davies (2-19) returned the best figures for the Sixers, while experienced seamers Ben Dwarshuis and Sean Abbott both took 2-25 from their four overs.<\/p>\n

Chasing a low total in tough conditions, the Sixers were in dire straits at 7-56 after the top and middle-order both failed to fire.<\/p>\n

But it was Davies – who is in the midst of a breakout BBL campaign – who steadied the ship with a quality knock, scoring an unbeaten 35 off 26 deliveries.<\/p>\n

The young gun put on a 62-run partnership with all-rounder Hayden Kerr (27 off 25) to save the match and keep the Sixers inside the competition’s top-four.<\/p>\n

“They really settled the ship, really calm,” Watson said.<\/p>\n

Kerr put the icing on the cake with eight balls remaining, smashing a six into the crowd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There’s very rarely a dull moment in the Big Bash and that was proven to be true once…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":393613,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564],"tags":[64,63,740,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-393612","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-cricket","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=393612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/393612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=393612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=393612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=393612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
