Cricket star Tom Bailey drops phone mid-run, fans react
Tom Bailey of Lancashire shocked fans when his phone fell from his pocket during a match against Gloucestershire at Old Trafford on Saturday, May 3. He was running between the wickets when the phone slipped out. Bowler Josh Shaw picked it up, but it’s unclear who got it next.
Bailey, 34, came in late to bat as No. 10, hoping to help his side bounce back from three straight losses. The odd moment, caught on video, spread fast online. The commentators were stunned and asked if it would be reported.
Fans online had fun with the scene. One said, 'so village'. Another joked about poor gear. Some guessed Bailey was tracking steps.
Still, he kept his cool and made 22 runs not out. Lancashire closed the first innings with 450 runs. Marcus Harris led with a strong 167. Bailey may now have to explain why he had a phone in his pocket while on the field.
