Canterbury captain Cole McConchie has taken one of the strangest and luckiest dismissals of the summer during New Zealand A's match against India A at Hagley Oval.
The off-spinner dismissed Hanuma Vihari on Thursday when the Indian batsman played a full blooded sweep shot into Rachin Ravindra's shin at short leg.
The ball then ricocheted off Ravindra and into the gloves of diving wicket-keeper Dane Cleever.
The dismissal was one of three for McConchie as New Zealand A bowled India A out for 216 in the 55th over. The four-day match continues until Sunday.
Vihari would be ill-advised to purchase a lotto ticket in Christchurch this evening.
