Adelaide Strikers batsman gets run out twice in one ball; watch video

Philip Salt punched a fuller delivery by Chris Green straight towards the bowler, who on his followthrough managed to get his hand as the ball went on hit stumps. As the Sydney Thunder fielders called for a run-out appeal, Salt tried to sneak a quick single. Weatherald, who had his eyes towards the ball, was late to react and despite attempting a quick single he fell short of his crease by inches.
