NEW DELHI: Pakistan cricket team's poor fielding has been infamous for many years. But what happened at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday in their World Cup loss to Australia was something none would have expected.
Australian swashbuckling opener David Warner had just started to go for his shots when a mistimed top-edge off Shaheen Afridi went high up in the air. Pakistanis were hoping for the first breakthrough with Usama Mir, playing his first match of the World Cup, getting underneath and positioning himself at mid-on to take the skier. But as luck would have it, Usama Mir dropped a sitter much to the shock his teammates.
