Shai Hope’s dismissal in the Guyana Amazon Warriors versus Trinbago Knight Riders clash in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) will go down in history as one of the most bizarre dismissals in cricket.Guyana Amazon Warriors’ Shai Hope was batting beautifully on 39 off 28 balls, with three crisp boundaries and one six, but then came the brain fade moment for Hope.Trinbago Knight Riders bowler Terrance Hinds bowled a ball well outside the off stump. Shai Hope, premeditated to play the reverse ramp shot, went across the line with a full swing of the bat, lost his shape in the process, and ended up knocking the top of the stumps with the toe end of the bat.
