An utterly peculiar manner of getting dismissed saw Marcus Elliott of Youth Club getting dismissed after his cell phone fell on the stumps while he was facing the third delivery against Pomonal. The match was a part of the Grampians Cricket Association Juniors Under-16s tournament which was being played at the Pomonal Recreation Reserve Ground. 

The first two deliveries which Elliot faced were negated without any trouble. However, on the third delivery, his mobile phone which was unknowingly kept in his pocket while he was in the middle, fell out of his pocket onto the stumps. This, in turn, dislodged the bails which prompted the umpire to adjudge him out via hitwicket.
