The Big Bash League 2023-24 has produced several interesting moments till now on the field but on Saturday, it was not a cricketing incident that grabbed the headlines.

During the match between Sydney Sixers and Melbourne Stars, the third umpire wrongly gave the batter out after he pressed the wrong button and quickly reversed his decision leaving the players in splits.

The incident occurred during Sixers' batting when James Vince slammed the ball straight towards the bowler Imad Wasim. The ball hit the stumps and the run-out decision was referred to the third umpire.

Replays clearly showed that Josh Philippe was well inside his crease at the non-striker end but the giant screen showed that the third umpire has given him out - a decision that caused quite a bit of confusion.

Glenn Maxwell is a vital cog in Australia's white-ball set up but he must "hold up his end of the bargain" after his "less than ideal" incident in Adelaide, said head coach Andrew McDonald. Last week Maxwell was hospitalised in Adelaide after he got too drunk after attending a concert by 'Six and Out', the band featuring former Australian pacer Brett Lee and passed out. He wasn't kept in the hospital for long and was discharged soon after and is now back in training.
