Canberra Raiders players enacted that scene after scoring a try against the St George Illawarra Dragons in a NRL (National Rugby League game.

The players used the corner flag on the pitch as a makeshift stump. One of the players took up the bowling duties and pretended to be Cameron Green bowling a bouncer.

Another player pretended to be Jonny Bairstow, while one other player pretended to be wicketkeeper Alex Carey.

The 'bowler' hurls the ball as a bouncer which goes over the batsman's head. The wicketkeeper latches on to the ball as the batsman goes out of his crease. The wicketkeeper quickly hurls the ball onto the stumps and is out. The players then wheel away to wild celebrations.
