WATCH: Oman batsman swings wildly at Kevin O’Brien’s legs during wicket celebrations

This could have gotten nasty.

Luckily, cooler heads prevailed after an incident that followed Kevin O'Brien bowling of batsman Khawar Ali for 34 after he had just hit a 4 and a 6. Ali didn't take too kindly to O'Brien's celebrations and took a swing for the legs of the Dubliner but O'Brien managed to just avoid contact.

It looked like he was about to confront Ali before he wisely decided against doing so and continued celebrating the wicket. https://twitter.com/BatBallStumps/status/707607011547078656 https://twitter.com/arj_90/status/707605518840299520 https://twitter.com/JoshuaFRanzz/status/707605517300989952 https://twitter.com/VinothRaja_K/status/707605491656962048 https://twitter.com/PartTimeBowler/status/707605348551495680
