South Africa vs Pakistan 2018/19: Watch Shaun Pollock Rips His Pants On A Live TV Coverage

Well, it was one of those embarrassing days for Shaun Pollock at the office. In a live TV coverage, Shaun Pollock ripped his pants while involving with Graeme Smith in the on-field catching. The incident tickled the funnier bones of the people present there while Shaun Pollock was the only person, who was having an awkward time out there.

The incident happened during the lunch break at Centurion on day three of the first Test between South Africa and Pakistan.  Pollock was standing alongside another former national captain in Graeme Smith while SuperSport anchor Mark Nicholas was questioning them on the difficulties in catching at slip cordon.

During the course, unfortunately for Pollock, he got a little too low down trying to take one of the catches. But, when he stood back up, he did so with a realisation that he had cut the back of his pants.

"That's a split."
