Adelaide : Looks like unluckiest dismissal in the cricket history has been captured in the camera. 

During a Sheffield Shield game between Victoria and South Australia, batsman Will Pucovski got out in a manner no one would have expected, missing his century by mere 18 runs. On the other hand, it was a miraculous wicket for Travis Head, who broke the 144-run stand between Pucovski and Seb Gotch.

Part-time spinner Head's delivery clipped one of Pucovski's pads, bounced up off the fielder at short leg and into the hands of wicketkeeper Harry Nielsen.

"Really unlucky there for Pucovski," one commentator said.

"South Australia needed a bit of luck to get the breakthrough and there it is."

"You don't get luckier than that, basically. That's why you have a short leg in, for those balls off the foot," said the other commentator.
