BBL | Twitter in splits as fan's fortunes tumble while attempting catch to turn ecstasy into injury

‌Hobart Hurricanes got off to a blistering start after being asked to bat first by Sydney Sixers in the Qualiifer courtesy of a Mitchell Owen blitzkrieg at the top of the or🎀der. The breakthrough star of the campaign muscled 36 runs off just 15 deliveries to continue his evolution as an opener, smashing three boundaries and as many sixes in the proess. The cameo had the entire Bellerive Oval buzzing with excitement as they cheered the purple brigade on but it was not all smooth sailing for one particular fan.

On the fourth ball of the third over, Owen pounced upon a short ball by Ben Dwarshius and sent it sailing over the midwicket fence with a scintillating pull shot. As the Kookabur⭕ra dropped into the stands, a fan was all ready on the stairs to catch the white rock but the plan quickly backfired. The ball could not nestle itself into the fans' mitts and popped out immediately but when he tried to scramble after it, the stairs became an obstacle and a painful tumble followed that left the fan lying on the ground in the stands, hurt, embarrassed, and utterly disappointed. 

Twitterati, unsurprisingly, did not shy from extracting entertianment from t𒁏he man's misery.

Have you ever seen someone so heartbroken over dropping a catch?

Yeah!
