It seems the ball didn’t get the memo. Instead of screaming over the midwicket boundary and into the sellout crowd of 5,000 at the grand opening of the Namibia Cricket Ground, the result of the mistimed stroke was a pathetic parabola in the air. The ball seemed to hang for all of those 468 days and flew flaccidly to backward square leg, where Ruben Trumpelmann bagged the blooper effortlessly.
