Cricket fan's embarrassing attempted catch

A cricket fan has made the highlights reel for the wrong reasons after crashing into a chair while attempting to catch a six at North Sydney Oval.

The supporter was watching a Matador BBQs One-Day clash between South Australia and Queensland when Redbacks batsman Travis Head hit Bulls paceman Mark Steketee for a six in the first over of their innings. With the ball headed in his direction the man didn't think twice about attempting the catch, but in making a mad dash down a hill he appeared to trip over his own feet, sending him tumbling into an empty chair.

The incident triggered raucous laughter from match commentators, who then outed the embarrassed supporter as a member of the "Wide World of Sports team".
