Summary
Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes came face-to-face for the 2nd match of the brand new edition of Women's Big Bash league on Sunday, November 9 at the Allan Border Field, Brisbane. Both sides aimed to start their WBBL campaign on a positive note, however, it was the Hurricanes who emerged victorious in the end.
Meanwhile, early in proceedings, an incident involving Thunder opener Georgia Voll hinted at what would become one of the most talked-about moments of the match.
Georgia Voll's Ramp Shot Incident Steals the Spotlight
Just when the action seemed fairly standard, Voll attempted a cheeky ramp shot off Hurricanes fast bowler Nicola Carey, only to misjudge the length entirely and end up wearing the ball on her helmet instead. The sight of Carey looking visibly concerned, paired with on-air commentator Trent Copeland calmly saying, “We shouldn’t laugh.”
The ball looped off her helmet and landed awkwardly behind her, at which point the dug-out cracked up. While Carey immediately checked on her opponent, Voll’s own teammates, led by captain Phoebe Litchfield, couldn’t suppress laughter in the Thunder camp.
