BBL 2021-22: Ben Cutting hilariously celebrates catch off free hit, ends up conceding extra runs

Ben Cutting experienced a brain fade moment during the Big Bash League (BBL) encounter between Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder. Off the 4th ball of the 16th over of the Sydney Sixers innings, Daniel Christian was facing a Free-Hit delivery and hit the ball straight to Cutting who was stationed at cover.

Cutting took a good catch, but failed to realize that it was a free hit, and threw the ball in the air. And, by the time Cutting came to terms with what actually happened, the batters completed 2 runs. Also, Daniel Christian was seen laughing at Cutting as well.

And, the official Twitter handle of KFC Big Bash League tweeted about this. “Uh oh A little brain-fade here Ben Cutting would probably like to forget,” tweeted the official Twitter handle of KFC Big Bash League.
