Top 5 funny on-field acts by cricketers

We know that cricket is gentleman’s game. In this gentleman’s game sometimes few on-field incidents have occurred which made everyone laugh to the top of their voice. Today we take you back to the memory lane and have a look at few funny incidents that will make you once again –

 

The Misbah push ups act – The Pakistani captain Misbah-Ul-Haq came in at a position when the team was struggling and needed someone who could control the flow of wickets. He along other batsmen stitched few valuable partnerships to sail the team’s boat to a safe position.  The atmosphere on the ground was quite serious as on one side the England team was concerned about the increasing number of runs on the scoreboard whereas the Pakistan team still had a long way to go. In between all these there was a small moment of joy which made hundreds of spectators on the ground and millions watching on television filled with laughter as the moment Misbah completed his century, he turned towards Pakistan dressing room, saluted the players and started his push up act, the count went till ten. Later he said that he promised the Pakistan army that he will do 10 pushups after completing the century and he was quite amused that he has been able to fulfil his promise. The act was a sheer joy to watch as no one ever expected such an act from Misbah. Really this pushup act will go down in the history books as the funniest act in the history of cricket.

 

 

 

The impromptu dancing act by Sreesanth – On India tour of South Africa in 2007, there was a cold war between two fast bowlers S. Sreesanth and Andrew Nel. Both were always seen engaging in a war of words with each other. In one of the incidents on the tour they again saw themselves coming face to face. The act was started by Andrew Nel and Sreesanth did a perfect end to it. Nel was bowling to Sreesanth and after every delivery was coming towards him to provoke him, Sreesanth took the challenge and replied in his own style. He smashed a big six off Nel to shut him up that was ok but soon he came up with a dancing act which made everyone laugh. Even the commentators could not control themselves. The incident still fills all of us with joy and happiness.

 

 

A Dadagiri act – After defeating the England team on their own soil at the iconic Lords ground, the Indian captain Sourav Ganguly cold not really control himself and he ambitiously removed his T-shirt and rolled it in the Lords balcony celebrating the India win over England in his own style. It was a brave act done by Sourav Ganguly and it was a perfect revenge too. This act still remains fresh in our mind and brings a big smile on our face whenever we see it.

 

 

Getting bowled the Inzy style – We have seen Inzamam-ul-Haq getting run out many times in funny style but once he got bowled in a style which no other cricketer would love to follow. Inzy was facing Monty Panesar and there was nothing special with the delivery that he bowled. Inzy attempted a sweep off it but the ball spun a bit and hit him in the stomach. Inzy lost control over himself and fell on the stumps dismissing himself. He made the best effort to avoid the collision with the stumps but couldn’t avoid the meeting. It was clearly evident that the ball has hit him hard in the stomach.

 

 

The jumping Frog act    – Indian team was facing arch-rivals Pakistan in the world cup. Kiran More who was keeping wickets was continuously shouting on top his voice to cheer up Indian players. The frustrated Javed Miandad turned back and warned More and also complained to umpire. Then after playing the next bowl Javed came back to the crease and jumped twice like a frog. Still, that funny moment is clear and fresh in the minds of cricket fans but still it is an unsolved mystery that why Javed jumped like a frog.
