Melbourne Stars got 5 penalty runs after Hobart Hurricanes batter Tim David deliberately attempted a short run in the Big Bash League (BBL 11) match. The incident happened during the last over of Hurricanes' innings on Friday (December 24) in Hobart.

On the penultimate ball of their innings, David played a yorker from Brody Couch to the long-on and went for a couple of runs. The replays showed the batter tried to deliberately run short which got the opponents five penalty runs, and Hurricanes got no run on that delivery.
