Pakistan cricket team seem to have a deep connection with bizarre run-outs. In the first Test of the two-match Test series between Bangladesh and Pakistan, that began on Friday, the world of cricket got to see yet another bizarre run-out, only the Pakistani cricket team inflicted it this time around.
The incident happened in the final delivery of Bangladesh’s innings. Batsman Abu Jayed pushed away a delivery from bowler Shaheen Afridi towards mid-on. He thought about going for a single but later changed his mind. Meanwhile, the batsman at the other end, Ebadot Hossain held on to his crease firmly.
Mohammad Abbas, the fielder, collected the ball and aimed it towards the striker’s end. He successfully dislodged the bails and the Pakistani team appealed in unison. The on-field umpires couldn’t understand what had happened so they went to the third umpire for a referral.
The replays showed that Jayed, somehow, fell short of his crease. He had ample time to get back into his crease but was caught napping and the Pakistani team wrapped up Bangladesh’s innings as they had already sent nine of the visiting team’s batsmen back to the dugout.
Replays of the incident revealed a bizarre yet hilarious run-out and the Pakistani team will be happy that they were on the right side.
Here, is a video of the Abu Jayed’s run out incident, that will crack you up surely:
