Brett, 49, bowled his ball through an incredibly tight gap between the red-guarding balls.

His green ball made it through and knocked the jack to rest upon another one of his balls as the audience erupted.

The commentary team were left in shock as one said: “That is just so good it’s ridiculous.”

The clip of the shot went viral on social media, and millions watched it online.

Brett has admitted to being a “technophobe” and missed how “massive” the moment went.

He told the Daily Star: “I only realised late on in the evening and into the next day.

“A few of my friends texted me, because I’m a bit of a technophobe I guess.

“It went massive, didn’t it?
