WATCH: George Bailey plays falling scoop off Gurinder Sandhu in Hurricanes vs Thunder BBL match

George Bailey plays falling scoop: The veteran Hurricanes’ batsman played a quickfire innings in the business end of the innings.

During the 50th match of the ongoing ninth season of the Big Bash League between Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Thunder in Hobart, veteran Hobart Hurricanes batsman George Bailey played an innovative scoop while falling towards his off-side.

It all happened on the fourth delivery of the penultimate over when Bailey played the best short of his brief yet swift innings. The 37-year old player going on to roll outside the pitch added to the hilarious element of the unconventional shot.

Having hit a six each on the delivery before and after the aforementioned delivery, Bailey and spinner Clive Rose scored 19 runs off the 19th over.

Coming in to bat at No. 6 in the 17th over, Bailey played exceedingly well for his 29 (10) with the help of three fours and two sixes. It was his innings towards the end of Hobart’s innings which powered them to 185/6 in their allotted quota of 20 overs.

It was a 97-run partnership for the second wicket between Hurricanes captain Matthew Wade and batsman Macalister Wright which laid the foundation in the first innings.

While Wade scored 56 (34) with the help of six fours and two sixes, it was Wright who top-scored for the hosts for the second time in a row. In what is his second half-century in his third match, Wright ended up scoring 64 (45) with the help of four fours and three sixes.
