Watch: Running from Marcus Stoinis and Larkin will make you burst into laughter

In the Big Bash League game between Melbourne Stars Marcus Stoinis and Nick Larkin made a silly mistake while running between the wickets. The incident has made cricket fans across the world burst into the laughter.

Heart of the matter:

During the 14th over of the Melbourne Stars innings, the batting pair of Marcus Stoinis and Nick Larkin collided on the pitch while running between the wickets. Marcus Stoinis punched Jonathan Cook’s delivery to wide long-on and called for two instantly, Larkin crashes into the big man Stoinis while stealing the second and that causes a moment of panic. It was a school-cricket mistake from the players at this level. Thankfully for the Stars, no player got injured or got run-out.

In case you didn’t know:

Melbourne Stars are facing Sydney Thunder in the Challenger on the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The winner of this game will go on to face Sydney Sixers in the final of the Big Bash League 2019-20. Over the seasons, the Stars have earned themselves a reputation of choking in the knock-out games. Despite having a strong squad at their disposal every season, the Stars are yet to lift the prestigious BBL trophy.

In the Challenger, the Stars won the toss and elected to bat first on what looked like a good track to bat upon. After losing Nic Maddinson early in the innings, Marcus Stoinis and Nick Larkin joined the forces to take the Stars to a competitive total. Both batsmen scored 83 runs apiece and took the Stars to 194/2 in their quota of 20 overs – the highest total in a knockout game in the BBL history.

What’s Next?

The Stars’ bowling unit will come out and try to defend the score against a strong batting outfit of the Thunder. The Glenn Maxwell-led side would be desperate to defend the total to move another step closer to claim the ultimate glory this time around after multiple failed attempts in the past.
