Classic NON catch as kid takes a tumble at the cricket
As cricket fans descend on Australia’s stadiums to see the T20 World Cup play out, an incident off the field has gone viral online.
Day two of the competition saw Scotland face off against the West Indies, but midway through the innings a moment of amusement and terror was captured in official footage.
As the camera panned over Hobart’s Blundstone Arena, a young child was spotted climbing over the railing between the stands and a hill where spectators can sit, when he flipped over and toppled head-first to the ground.
A man, assumed to be the child’s father, was seen frantically running after the toddler and hopping over the railing.
Footage of the incident was shared on Twitter with the caption, “Just a dad and his son at the cricket….”, when it quickly went viral.
“This has made me laugh a lot more than it should of so far today,” one viewer joked.
“Narrator: It was precisely this moment Steve knew his afternoon at the cricket had took a turn for the worse,” another quipped.
Others referenced WWE wrestler Jeff Hardy, who is known for his ‘swanton bomb’ dives from great heights, with one user writing: “Jeff Hardy, famed from the top of the ladder!”
The video racked up over 300,000 views, but the clip has since been disabled due to a “report by the copyright owner”.

The camera cut away before the child was picked up, and with no reports of injuries it seems the boy came out okay.
Back on the pitch, Scotland claimed victory a day after Namibia defeated Sri Lanka.
Australia will be going head-to-head with New Zealand at the SCG on Saturday.
