New Zealand cricketer Michael Bracewell gave fans a hilarious moment during a Major League Cricket 2025 match between MI New York and San Francisco Unicorns. Playing for MI New York, Bracewell was clean bowled by Romario Shepherd. But instead of walking off, Bracewell strangely signaled for a DRS (Decision Review System), as if he thought he had been given out LBW.
The umpire had already confirmed it was a bowled dismissal, and even players from the San Francisco Unicorns pointed toward the shattered stumps to remind Bracewell of what had happened.
Realizing his mistake, Bracewell smiled awkwardly and made his way back to the pavilion. The moment, caught on camera, quickly went viral on social media and was widely shared by fans and commentators, who called it a “brain fade”: a term used in cricket when a player loses awareness of the situation.
Bracewell, known as a skilled all-rounder for New Zealand, has delivered strong performances in the past. But this light-hearted error reminded everyone that even experienced players can have a moment of confusion.
Though Bracewell didn’t score any runs in that match, he certainly delivered one of the funniest highlights of the tournament by giving cricket fans a moment they won’t forget anytime soon.
