The on-going game between Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers at The Gabba in Brisbane, witnessed a cracking moment as Alex Ross played a completely off-the-book shot that left the viewers nay the commentators on their toes. Ross' innovative shot eventually resulted in a boundary.

Ross, who eventually departed for a 20 runs in the Big Bash League game, slammed three brilliant boundaries, two of which came back to back. In the 12th over, Walter bowled a short length delivery on the stumps at a 108 kmph speed, Ross premeditated as he shuffled across to the off-side and ramped it over the keeper for a boundary.
