A few singles here from PM’s XI have found the ire of commentators Brett Lee and Brendon Julian.
Two pushes to mid-off and cover should have been dots but both openers have managed singles.
Julian explained his belief that fielding cost Pakistan a spot in the World Cup finals.
The single to cover almost led to a run out for Marcus Harris though, and if it was a direct hit it would’ve been close.
“That’s too risky there … that would have created a few headlines wouldn’t it,” Brett Lee laughed.
