Women's Hundred | Twitter reacts to Fi Morris’ ‘merry go round’ display culminate in unfortunate boundary
Fielding at the boundary is crucial, often demanding meticulous attention to the consequences. Manchester Originals’ Fritha Morris learned this, the hard way in the match against Oval Invincibles when her lapse in fielding at the edge of the ropes resulted in conceding a crucial four for her side.
On the 73rd delivery, Katherine Bryce bowled a short ball to Scholfield, who dragged it from outside off stump, sending it airborne towards the forward square leg. Positioned at deep mid-wicket, Morris ran to her right and attempted to field the ball on the bounce. Misjudging the trajectory, she fumbled, swerved around, and allowed the ball to trickle past her and over the boundary for four. Lying on the grass in dejection, Morris’s misfield became an immediate topic of discussion on Twitter with her gesture being compared with 'merry go round' movement.
LOL so funny!
