Perth Scorchers stumper Josh Inglis affects unbelievable run out - WATCH
Inglis tried to collect the ball on one bounce but it popped out of his hold. He then flicked it with his right palm in the direction of the stumps.
The Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Thunder clash at the Big Bash League (BBL) at the Optus Stadium on Saturday witnessed an unbelievable run-out affected by stumper Josh Inglis. The Scorchers wicketkeeper’s act to dismiss Thunder batsman Alex Ross took everyone present at the venue by surprise.
The incident happened in the sixth over of the second innings when Sydney Thunders were chasing a challenging total of 186 runs. Jason Behrendorff was in the attack who had already accounted for opener Alex Hales (5) and skipper Callum Ferguson (0).
Behrendorff bowled a back of the length delivery and Sam Billings, who had the strike, pushed it towards quick but risky single. The bowler chased the ball, picked it well and threw it to the striker’s end to the keeper.

Fortunately, his move worked as the ball hit the stumps directly before Ross could reach the crease. The Scorchers players were absolutely shell-shocked as they couldn’t realise what actually just happened.
