In a rather unsual event during the match between Adelaide Strikers and Brisbane Heat on Saturday, Striker's left arm pacer Liam Haskett was hit for six by Nathan McSweeney only for his father to catch the ball in the stands. Haskett was making his debut in the game.

The incident happened on the third ball of the third over of Heat's innings. McSweeney picked up a half-tracker and sent it over the ropes, landing straight into the hands of a spectator whom former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist recognised and introduced while commentating for the Fox Cricket live broadcast.

Gilchrist said, “That man there is Liam Haskett’s dad–Lloyd Haskett. He sat back there and did not look thrilled at all with the proceedings. He played it very cool. We thought it was just a cool customer, but he was so disappointed that his son on debut had just been dispatched, and he caught the catch."

Haskett finished with figures of 2/43, while D'Arcy Short was the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets for just 15 runs.
