South Africa’s stand-in captain Aiden Markram got furious at his team’s fast bowler Lungi Ngidi for missing a simple run-out chance during the match against England in the ongoing Champions Trophy.
The incident happened in just the fourth over of the match when Lungi Ngidi was bowling. Ngidi bowled a length delivery outside off stump which was steered down past backward point. It seemed like a certain boundary but Tristan Stubbs chased down the ball just inside the boundary line.
He threw the ball towards the bowler’s end as Duckett was struggling to complete the third run. However, Ngidi wasn’t at the bowler’s end to collect the ball and run him out. Aiden Markram tried his best to reach the non-striker’s end from mid-on but failed to run him out.
Duckett would have been well short of his crease had someone been there. Skipper Markram was fuming at the bowler as he wanted him just behind the stumps. Ngidi was also disappointed for missing an easy opportunity.
