Proteas Test opener Dean Elgar suffered an embarrassing way to get out in an English county championship game at the weekend.
The left-hander, who’s been in excellent form for Somerset ahead of South Africa’s Test series against England, was bowled by a delivery that bounced twice.
Yes, Elgar was dismissed by a double bouncer … from a leg-spinner!

Hampshire tweaker Mason Crane lost his grip on the ball and pitched the ball pretty much in the middle of the surface.
It then turned viciously but kept on dipping.
Elgar, batting confidently on 60, tried to pull and missed.
It was a crazy way to get out.
