In what can be termed as the most unique batting style, Australian Batsman George Bailey was seen batting with his face towards the 'wicket'. To add to the uniqueness, the batsman took a 360-degree turn to bat the incoming ball. The absurd batting style happened on the first day of the seventh Sheffield Shield match between Tasmania and Victoria in Hobart. It was during the 25th over of the Tasmanian innings, that Bailey took a very unique style.

Another user said she wasn't surprised as it was George playing
Oh he's back with it. I thought he just tried it in the past before the RSA series which had even Faf laughing at it from the slips.

Anyway, it's just a trigger movement but weird nonetheless!
Another user joked and said, this used to happen when there was a glitch in 'video games'
This happened sometimes while playing Cricket 07 PC game due to a glitch... 😂😂😂
