Judah’s Limerick
We know that God plays soccer, remember  Maradona
with rising hand at the England goal, shouting  abracadabra!
But Cricket, we thought is a fair game
until Saifudeen went on to claim
that Casper it was who dislodged the bails and no credit to bowler Chatara !

‘Ghost’ Interrupts Zimbabwe Vs Bangladesh T20I Match, Video Spooks Cricket Fans

(26 July 2021)

A spooky incident was captured on camera during the second T20I clash between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh when the bails mysteriously fell off the wickets without the batsman being anywhere near the stumps. The incident occurred during the 18th over of Bangladesh’s innings when Mohammad Saifuddin was on strike. Tendai Chatara, bowling his fifth delivery, got the lucky “breakthrough” when Saifuddin “kicked” the stumps while playing a pull shot. In fact, Saifuddin turned behind to see what had unfolded when he heard the sound of bails being dislodged. But was the Bangladeshi batsman really out hit-wicket?

The umpires went upstairs to investigate the bizarre situation and the footage retrieved was straight out of a paranormal activity show. The replays showed Saifuddin was inches away from the wickets and that wind had toppled the bails. To add to the mystery, the stumps were shifted from their original and upright position.

Spooky much? Twitterati thought so too.
