X had an unfortunate end to his innings. There were two balls left on the third day and the scoreboard said he needed 4. He wanted to get it soon so that his brother, the captain could declare.
He played a ball out to point where there was a misfield so he thought he’d chance the second, which would leave him needing two off the day’s last ball.
But the fielder gathered it, threw back to the keeper’s end, and he was short by a yard and a half. As X walked back the scoreboard showed 2 more runs in his account. They had been a little slow and hadn’t updated his score initially! It was hugely irritating for a while but when telegrams and messages came from all over the world, including one from Sir Bradman, X got over it.
Who is X?
What is the event?
