HH-W vs PS-W | Twitter chuckles as Lauren Smith aims for moon to gift easy overthrows to Perth Scorchers
Overthrows often highlight how sloppy the fielding unit is and it was on display yet again in the WBBL match between Hobart Hurricanes and Perth Scorchers in Hobart. Lauren Smith hurled the ball, like a javelin, far away from wicketkeeper Lizelle Lee to gift easy runs to the Scorchers.
Perth Scorchers had a horrific start after Hobart Hurricanes put them in during the Women's Big Bash League match losing two wickets in the first over at Bellerive Oval in Hobart. However, Beth Mooney and Sophie Devine steadied the visitors’ ship with a 66-run partnership as the side reached 76/3 at the halfway mark.
With Devine back in the hut, captain Elyse Villani brought back Molly Strano with the hope of finding another breakthrough. The off-spinner tossed up a flighted delivery that was full and outside off stump to new batter Freya Kemp with the batter reaching out for a cover drive.
The ball went straight to Lauren Smith at covers, who fumbled initially prompting the batters to take a quick single. However, it did not stop at one as her throw went wayward with Mooney and Kemp completing three runs.
Just as she rushed to pick up the ball to run Mooney out at the striker’s end, Smith put too much behind the throw with wicketkeeper Lizelle Lee looking helplessly as the ball sailed over her head. Twitter was in splits as what should have been a dot ball ended up adding three to the visitors’ scoreboard, courtesy of Smith’s over-enthusiasm.
