Dog steals ball in cricket match; named best fielder in Ireland

A four-legged fielder nearly ran away with the ball in an Irish women's cricket match over the weekend.

In the middle of play, an errant throw rolls across the pitch and a small dog named Dazzle, trailing her leash, swoops in and grabs the ball with players giving chase.

Soon enough, Dazzle ran up to a player and gave her the ball, and the match carried on.

Joining in the light-hearted spirit of the moment, the International Cricket Council named Dazzle it's "ICC Dog of the Month", calling her "the best fielder in Ireland cricket."
