Cricket is frequently referred to be a batter’s game because the rules are slightly biased in their favor.
The introduction of the decision review system (DRS) has given bowlers some relief, with LBWs occasionally falling in their favor due to the initial umpire call. A bowler still has constraints, such as no balls, wides, and a limited number of bouncers each over. DRS is a game-changer, and it frequently adds to the intensity of the game as everyone is waiting for a verdict while watching the big screen.
When a batter reaches a milestone of 50 or 100, they honor the spectators and their teammates by lifting their bat and removing their helmet, respectively. A wicket can be celebrated by the bowler as well, and frequently this adds drama to the game. Here, we take a look at 5 examples of amusing wicket celebrations by bowlers.
1. Dave Mohammed (West Indies) – Booty shake
You should check out Dave Mohammed‘s rotating booty shake. Nobody was prepared when it occurred during the Stanford final. I don’t know how Dave came up with this idea, but when you see it, it’s laugh out loud funny. He must have paired the booty shake with a DJ-style party to create a precisely timed sequence because it appears like his ears are covered.
This occasion was the 2008 championship game, in which Dave won Player of the Match. By the way, it was here where slugger Chris Gayle’s team was dismissed for 91 runs. The hilarious aspect of Dave’s performance is that he might have invented the shoe celebration because one of his wickets had him pulling off his shoes and acting as though he was speaking to someone.
Dave only made a few cricket appearances for the West Indies. He only had a few ODIs and T20s, winning 13 and 10 wickets each in those games. The final in 2008 seemed to be the finest opportunity for him to use a booty shake that he may have adopted as a result of something he watched on television.
