George Bailey’s Weird Batting Stance Is Here To Haunt Us Again, Leaves Netizens ROFL-ing

It’s safe to say that we’re going through the weirdest phase of cricket. Within the last few days, we got the bowler from Uttar Pradesh who spun himself before delivering the ball. Then we had a match between Pakistan and New Zealand where the batsmen took 5 runs in ball, even though the ball didn’t touch the boundary. And now we’ve a blast from the past in the form of George Bailey.

While playing for the Prime Minister’s XI in a tour match against South Africa in Canberra, George Bailey reminded the cricketing world about his weird stance. And it had the players and the commentators chuckling.

If you’re just starting to watch cricket, then this might seem like the strangest thing you’ve ever seen. That’s because Bailey here has almost turned his back to the bowler. But those who’ve been seeing his game is quite familiar with this. As to why he does this? Well, according to him, that’s the only way he can whack the ball properly.

Netizens who say George Bailey’s back-to-the-bowler stance were amused as well and some even asked whether it was legal.

3. Going by those smiles, they were taken by surprise.

4. Magic, it’s magic!

5. When it ain’t broken, don’t fix it.

6. They can wave at each other throughout the match.

7. It always does.

The haters of George Bailey’s batting stance can keep hating. However, in my opinion, if it works for him, he doesn’t need to change a thing. Especially since by doing so, he’s giving everyone a reason to laugh.
