One of the most captivating Test series has spawned in another talking point. Yes, with the second day of the fourth test coming to a close in Johannesburg, South African wicket-keeper Quinton de Knock had a chance to stump Shaun Marsh. But a bee saves him! Because Quinton was stung by a bee right at the moment he went to catch the ball. The floating last delivery of the 31st over from spinner Keshav Maharaj could beat Marsh. The ball slipped down through Knock’s legs and the wicket-keeper misses stumping as he was clasping his upper arm. And Twitterati is astounded and they could not hold themselves in bursting out their amusing reactions!

The commentators Shane Warne and Mark Nicholas and the spectators thought that Marsh may have got an edge. But no! He was saved by the bee. The South African television camera operators showed that it was a bee which stung Quinton de Knock at the same time as the stumping opportunity. “Goodness me,” Warne said.

Marsh survives the stumping!

Yes, it seems so..

Quinny and the bees!

Stumping chance missed..

Yes, the bee should be!

This is not the first time that Quinton de Knock had a bee time. In 2017 during a test between South Africa and Sri Lanka the fielders, batsmen and the umpires were forced to lie down flat on their bellies as they waited for the bees to pass. We still speculate what more this test series has to offer!
