Cricket Viral Video: As Hashim Amla and Jacques Kallis were putting together a massive match-winning 377-run partnership, a funny incident happened during the 2012 England vs. South Africa Oval Test.
Andrew Strauss breaks off his glasses
It was a thrilling battle in the opening Investec Test between England and South Africa. However, a humorous incident occurred on day three of the Test match. In the 121st over, Graeme Swann was brought on to bowl as Kallis took the strike. With Strauss at short-midwicket, Jacque Kallis, who was batting at number 51, quickly took a single.
The sunglasses that were perched on Strauss’s floppy cap slipped forward as he released his throw after fielding the ball at midwicket as the then-England Test captain. The sunglass frames were destroyed, and Strauss’ teammates were in fits of laughter as a result of the ball hitting them so closely.

Everyone who saw the amusing scene, including Swann, Cook, and Anderson, laughed heartily, including Strauss. The audience laughed along with Strauss and applauded him for having fun.
It was afterwards described by Strauss as his most embarrassing incident on a cricket pitch.
Although South Africa won the match by an innings and 12 runs, England didn’t have much else to chuckle about. Talking about runs, Kallis scored 182 runs, while Hashim Amla hit a triple century. As South Africa put 637 on the board, both batsmen remained unbeaten. Due to his outstanding triple century, which helped South Africa elegantly win the match, Hashim Amla was named man of the match.
