The batters sneaked in three runs with the ball barely leaving the pitch area in comical scenes during a recent European League Series (ECS) match in Czech Republic.
From run-out to overthrows, the eagerness to steal a quick run can bring in all sorts of possibilities into play in the world of cricket. But there are times when trying to take a single might lead to some bizarre instances. A similar incident took place during a recent European League Series (ECS) match in Czech Republic. In a video shared by ECS on their official Twitter handle, the Vinohardy CC players can be seen making a series of howlers in the outfield, which allowed the Prague Barbarians batters — Jahanur Hoque and Andrew Sims — to steal three runs.
Vinohardy players had three chances to effect a run out, but made in absolute mess of things in one of the funniest cricketing videos ever seen.
“They sneaked in 3 runs out of nowhere,” the European Cricket Network captioned the video on Twitter.

Barbarians eventually won the match by 6 runs.
