Mitchell's six overflowed the audience's glass of beer

 In this age of T20 cricket, the cricket world has seen a lot of new things. In T20 matches, the umpires often wear a shield in their hands to protect themselves from the bullets from the batsmen. Helmets are sometimes seen on the heads of spectators sitting in the gallery near the field.




Twenty20 cricket is a game of four sixes. This is the reason why no one gets injured when the ball hits the head while enjoying those four-six. In Test cricket, even if the number is less, sixes are killed and those sixes can cause loss in the gallery. This is exactly what happened yesterday on the first day of the England-New Zealand Trent Bridge Test.




After New Zealand lost 4 wickets for 179 runs, Daryl Mitchell managed to push Tom Blundell. They are unbeaten on 149 runs in the fifth wicket partnership. New Zealand also finished the day with 316 runs for 4 wickets.


Mitchell, who took charge of the innings, played slowly. But sometimes the bowlers have been attacked again by the Kiwi batsman who has scored 71 runs from 147 balls. England spinner Jack Leach bowled the 56th over of the innings. Mitchell came out of the wicket a couple of times in that over and tried to hit. He hit four in the first ball. He came out in the third ball of the over and hit six.



Mitchell's six hit the ball into the gallery. When the ball went over the head of a spectator and fell into the gallery, it was seen that water had splashed all around. After watching the video replay, it was understood that the ball had actually landed in the beer glass of a female spectator! That female viewer is shocked. Seeing his face, it seems that he has survived a big life!


There was a bit of laughter in the commentary room. "It's in a glass of beer," said one commentator. "Jack, calm him down," said former England spinner Phil Tuffnell in a BBC commentary. Because of him, people's beer is being wasted in the gallery. ' The Burmese Army, a pro-England group, wrote on their Twitter account, "Susan, the woman whose beer got the ball, was given another beer from the Kiwi party!


Such incidents have happened in cricket before. And that too against England. In the second ODI of the series during the tour of England in 2006, a spectator's glass was broken in the gallery of Rahul Dravid's death in Bristol. Dravid, who scored an unbeaten 92 off 63 balls in that match, hit six sixes off the 49th over of James Anderson. Batting first, India scored 329 runs for 6 wickets and won the match by 9 runs.
