New Delhi. A sight was seen on the cricket field on Saturday, which had hardly been seen before. When the son made his debut in a Big Bash League match, his father was also in the stadium. Adelaide Strikers handed the new ball to debutant Liam Haskett. Haskett lived up to this expectation and got the first wicket for his team. But more discussion than this wicket was taken by a six off his ball. The six that was hit on Haskett’s ball was caught by his father outside the field.
In the Big Bash League, there was a match between Adelaide Strikers and Brisbane Heats on Saturday, 11 January. Batting first, Adelaide Strikers scored a huge score of 251 runs for 5 wickets. On his behalf, captain Matthew Short scored a brilliant century. He played an innings of 109 runs in 54 balls.
The team of Brisbane Heat, who came to play the counter innings, got all out after scoring 195 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. For his side, Nathan McSweeney scored the maximum 43 runs. Darcy Short took maximum 4 wickets for Adelaide Strikers. Liam Haskett and Lloyd Pope, playing their debut match, took two wickets each.
Liam Haskett, playing his debut match, may have taken two wickets, but his balls were also beaten a lot. He gave away 43 runs in a spell of 3 overs, which included 4 sixes. Michael Neser hit two sixes in the first over of 23-year-old Haskett. After this, when Haskett brought his second over, Nathan McSweeney took his ball outside the midwicket boundary.
