The bail lit without a hit, the catch fell! Jonathan Wells survives as spooky scenes unfold in the BBL
Melbourne Renegades batsman Jonathan Wells had all the luck in the ongoing game against the Melbourne Stars in the Big Bash League (BBL) in 2024-25. 23rd match of the tournament between teams takes place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne.
Jonathan Wells is playing a decent hand for his team in the ongoing Big Bash League match and made sure to help his team to a decent total on the board. The right-hander came out to bat at No. 5 and got his team out of trouble when they struggled to get going with the bat.
Wells came to bat as Melbourne Renegades were left reeling at 53/3. The right-hander shouldered all the pressure and made sure he got a few runs for the team, lifting his team to a total of around 170, which at one point seemed impossible, especially with a team losing early wickets.
But it’s fair to say that Wells was also quite lucky. During the third ball 15. Peter Siddle he delivered a shot that almost cleared the batter but the fast bowler was unlucky to get the wicket under his belt.
Jonathan Wells made room and tried to run it through the backfield; the ball slanted in and took the inside edge. It went to Sam Harper’s left and the keeper jumped over to get both hands on it but failed. The bail also lit up as the ball went past the stumps.
