It could be comical to watch professionals make silly mistakes at a competitive level, resulting in frustration among teammates. David Warner felt the same during the Sydney Derby against the Syndey Sixers when the bowler and the wicketkeeper botched an easy catch due to miscommunication.

Winning the toss and electing to field first, disciplined bowling curbed the Sixers to 163 runs in 20 overs. It was Cameron Bencroft’s unbridled 70 that laid the foundation of a competitive score in the first innings. In response, the Sixers got brisk partnerships quite a few times in the lead up to the score of 101/3 in 14 overs before a catching disaster stole the attention.

The first ball of the 15th over saw Tanveer Sangha bowl a half-tracker googly into Moises Henriques. The batter rocked back for a pull and got a top-edge with the ball falling right in front of the crease. Both Sangha and wicketkeeper Sam Billings tried to reach towards the falling white rock but gave up at the last moment, leaving to a drop. The ball was easily catchable for either the bowler or the batter but a strange miscommunication lead to Warner at short cover get furious at both. The veteran questioned their decision making by hand gestures, propmpting the Twitterverse abuzz.
