Watch: Don’t get caught with your pants down
From six-seeking hero to head-over-heels hilarity, this fan's attempt at the Betway Catch 2 Million at the SA20 final has South Africans in stitches.
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, to be caught with one’s pants down means ‘to be surprised in an embarrassing situation; to be caught off guard’.
During Friday’s SA20 final, played between MI Cape Town and Sunrisers Eastern Cape at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, a spectator’s attempt to share in the Betway Catch 2 Million winnings had a hilarious outcome.
You’ve got to hand it to him, he gave it his all to get a one-handed catch off a Connor Esterhuizen-six – the 364th of this year’s competition – and become the 14th person to split the R2m cheque.
SuperSport cameras captured the moment the man spectacularly tumbled head over heels – bollemakiesie-ing [Afrikaans word for ‘somersault’] over a railing, losing his hat in the process, and narrowly missing a camping chair during an Olympic-worthy dive into the row of spectators in front of him.
Watch the hilarious moment that has South Africans chuckling here:
Everyone knows it’s the last chance for the #BetwayCatch2Million 😭💸
