Otago Volts batsmen Nathan Smith and Michael Rippon have served up a contender for worst run out of the week, amongst a competitive field.

Yesterday, Pakistan produced a brain fade on the third day of their second Test against Australia when Azhar Ali thought he'd scored a boundary but was runout while making small talk with his partner in the middle of the wicket.

This morning, the Volts produced a howler in their round two Plunket Shield match against the Wellington Firebirds.

In the Volts' first innings at the Basin Reserve, Michael Rippon clipped a ball off his pads down toward square-leg.

But as he turned for the second run, he slipped... Twice!

Compounding matters, his partner Smith made it halfway down the pitch before realising Rippon wasn't coming back, then slipped himself, falling flat on his back.

Smith was dismissed for arguably the most embarrassing duck of his career.
