The engaging action continued in the Big Bash League 2022-23 as Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers faced off in the second match of the season. Strikers’ captain Peter Siddle won the toss and elected to bat first. The captain’s decision was vindicated by the team as they notched up 184 runs in their allotted 20 overs. In reply, Sydney could only manage to score 133 runs and lost the match by 51 runs. During the match, Chriss Lynn was involved in a fun conversation with the commentators while fielding.
In the video posted by the Big Bash League, Lynn is seen saving a boundary by diving. He is then asked by Michael Clarke from the commentary box ‘I thought you weren’t allowed to dive.’ To which Lynn replies, “It was more of a fall to be honest” and leaves the commentary box in splits.
