VIDEO: Thomas Kelly Smashes A Six in BBL; Man In The Crowd Catches The Ball & Boasts

In the ongoing Big Bash League match between Hobart Hurricanes & Adelaide Strikers, Adelaide Strikers won the toss & opted to bat first. This decision by the Strikers proved right as the batters smacked Hurricanes' bowlers around the park. 

In the 19th over of the Adelaide Strikers' batting being bowled by Riley Meredith, Thomas Kelly smacked the ball for a six. It was a slower delivery by Riley Meredith, which was picked beautifully by Kelly as he went on the backfoot and swung the bat to send the ball cleanly over mid-wicket. 

Hobart Hurricanes' fielder thought there was a slight chance of a 'catch out' but the ball sailed over him into the hand of a spectator who caught the ball. He then went on to boast about catching the ball which amused the other spectators around him.
