Fielding error turns into bizarre classic catch

Fielding error turns into bizarre classic catch

As a sportsman you know it’s not going to be your day when a slice of good fortune is immediately erased by an inexplicable piece of bad luck.

And so it was in the Caribbean Premier League for Steven Taylor who looked to be given a reprieve when a thick outside edge was dropped by Barbados Tridents wicketkeeper Devon Thomas.

Unfortunately for the St Kitts and Nevis opener the ball ricocheted straight off the keeper’s gloves and right into the gratefully hands of Tabraiz Shamsi at short third man, who took the bizarre catch.

If that wasn’t painful enough for the Patriots batsman his side then went on to lose the match by 7 wickets.
