During a recent Big Bash game at the Adelaide Oval, the odds of catching a six in the crowd were high, but even more astonishing was when the bowler’s father made the catch. This rare occurrence happened during a match between the Adelaide Strikers and the Brisbane Heat, where the Strikers set a record-breaking score of 251. The Heat’s innings was notable for the unique moment of Liam Haskett’s father catching a six hit by Nathan McSweeney, much to the surprise of spectators.
Despite the unusual turn of events, Haskett maintained his composure and continued to bowl, eventually taking two wickets in the match. The camera captured the tense moments when Haskett’s parents nervously watched their son play, adding to the memorable experience for the family. Although the elder Haskett may not have appeared thrilled at the catch, it undoubtedly created a lasting family memory. The game ended with a victory for the Strikers, solidifying the night as one to remember for both players and fans alike.
