WATCH VIDEO | This Is One Of The Most Comical Run Outs Seen On The Cricket Field

The Pakistan national cricket team has often had awkward situations in the past. But what ensued yesterday, during their match with Australia, gave a new meaning to self-destruction.


On Day 3 of the second Test between Pakistan and Australia, batsmen Azhar Ali and Asad Shafiq were involved in one of the most comical run outs seen in the history of Test cricket. As the bails came off the wicket, scores of fans and former players couldn't contain the shock.


The incident took place in the 52nd over when Azhar Ali edged a delivery to third-man. After hitting the ball, the two batsmen were seen chatting in the middle of the pitch, without realising that the ball had stopped short of the boundary.


Mitchell Starc retrieved the ball and threw it to Tim Paine, who quickly whipped off the bails, much to the shock of Azhar Ali. Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur shook his head in disbelief.

 

Unable to contain the shock and disbelief, scores of former crickets and fans took to Twitter to express what they had just witnessed.
