VIDEO | Mohammad Amir forces Sarfraz Ahmed to take the worst reviews of World Cup
How often have we seen the Pakistani cricketers, especially skipper Sarfraz Ahmed, missing out on making correct decisions while reviewing decisions? Again in the ongoing match against Australia, Amir forced Sarfraz to go for a review with the ball hitting the pads inches outside Warner's off stump.
Australia was off to a flying start against Pakistan in the ongoing Cricket World Cup encounter in Taunton. Both the openers Aaron Finch and David Warner took the attack to the opposition camp as they added a mammoth 146 runs for the first wicket in just 22.1 overs. The start had ensured a perfect foundation for the defending champions to go on and score a huge total on the board while batting first in the match against Sarfraz Ahmed and co.
However, after the dismissal of Finch for 82, Mohammad Amir looked ahead to pick up the wicket of the other opener as well. Amir came steaming into in the 25th over landing the fifth delivery of the over well outside off against Warner who was batting on 62. Warner missed the ball but had taken a huge stride towards the ball and it was evident that the impact had been outside off stump.
However, there was a big shout for an LBW by the bowler and all other Pakistani players but it had no impact on the umpire. There was a small discussion between the Pakistani players with their skipper Ahmed who was behind the stumps. Amir was convinced with his delivery and despite the skipper rejecting the appeal twice, Amir forced him to challenge the on-field decision. But the replays clearly showed that the impact between the ball and the pad was way outside the off-stump and it should have been ruled not out.
