Twitter reacts to Mohammed ‘lazy’ Shami’s throw at the wrong end saving Bairstow

08/04/2021

When Joe Root knocked the ball to the deep and called for a quick two, there was a run-out on offer, especially considering how Jonny Bairstow had taken off. However, Mohammed Shami’s throw at the wrong end ensured that Bairstow had enough time to turn and reach the striker’s end safely.

POOR THROW!

BAIRSTOW SURVIVES!

hance for a run-out... but Bairstow survives! Total miscommunication in the middle. It was a length delivery and Root clips it down to mid wicket. Bairstow wanted a second run as he was stranded half-way down the crease. Shami gathers the ball and throws it towards the nonstriker

SHAMI FAILS!

Nearly a run out as Shami fails to spot a run out chance at the batting end. Bairstow makes it back safely thanks to that slightly errant throw. #ENGvsIND #WTC23
