This Dog Became The Highlight Of A Cricket Game!

A game of cricket shares the same charm as a game of golf; slow, steady with sudden bursts of action. It’s also full of interruptions, normally caused by the players on the field and the fellow sports personnel.

In this case, the game was swiftly interrupted by a much too excited pup who bolted onto the playing field. Here’s how she became the highlight of the game. On a bright afternoon in Ireland, a game of women’s cricket was being played; one of the teams was Civil Service North.

Most of the game went on smoothly until a fateful wicket was hit, setting off an unlikely interloper. The cricket ball went all ways with the cricket players determined to act in favor of their team; some racing to make the run, whilst the ball proceeded between mitts to reach the pitches as fast as possible. The scene was lively and intense, soon to be interrupted by Dazzle, the pup with golden fur and a leash around her neck.

The event was surprising, to say the least; in the moments before, the ball was in the hands of the players, now it was in Dazzle’s possession. The game quickly became a chase after Dazzle and the announcers were loving every second of it as they laughed at what was unfolding before their eyes.

Out of the 42 rules in cricket, there was no way of explaining what was happening and so the game was put on hold until the ball was retrieved. After the ball’s safe return the game continued and Dazzle was swiftly taken by her parent back to the sidelines where she watched her sister who was one of the players on the pitch.

It’s safe to say that she made the match unforgettable.
