Littler added: “He hit a 180 and then he gave it a fist pump, so in my head I was just like, yeah, that’s fine. “But then he’s done it again as I was about to throw, so I stepped back. “Then he tried tapping me, but in the heat of the moment I just ignored him. “Then that’s when he said at the end, I tried tapping you. I was just like, yeah, I am in my own world.” Comment now
