Cricket World Cup: Pakistan made a strange call to review the first ball, despite it clearly making contact with David Warner's bat.
David Warner and Mitchell Marsh clobbered hundreds after the Australians were asked to bat first in Bengaluru, combining for the sixth-highest partnership in World Cup history. Despite a late flurry of wickets, Australia posted 9-367 from its 50 overs to set Pakistan a record target for victory.
Alongside Warner, who finished on 163, the pair broke numerous records and were only a single run away from recording Australia’s highest-ever World Cup partnership. Pakistan legend Waqar Younis was scathing of Mir’s effort and labelled it a “massive miss”, with his prophecy quickly being fulfilled. Warner and Marsh didn’t give another chance until both players had celebrated their respective centuries.
“As it is, you’re not able to create opportunities. At least grab the ones which batters are giving,” he wrote.Pakistan’s head coach will without a doubt be focusing on fielding in this week’s training before their next World Cup clash.Regardless, the New South Welshman hardly put a foot wrong in the second half of Pakistan’s run chase at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium.
“Inglis straight away put his hand on his knee and said, ‘He’s hit that’,” former New Zealand wicketkeeper Katey Martin said on commentary. On Friday, Pakistan openers Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq feasted on some wayward bowling early in the run chase, plundering 40 runs from the opening five overs.“How many balls have been hit square of the wicket?” former Australian captain Aaron Finch asked on commentary.
