Watch: Azhar Ali run out in bizarre fashion
Azhar was sent back to pavilion after hitting 64 score.
ABU DHABI (Dunya News) – On day three of the second Test against Australia, middle-order Pakistani batsman Azhar Ali was run out in a most hilarious fashion.
Azhar hit Peter Siddle’s delivery towards the boundary and assumed it as a four. The player started conversation with Asad Shafiq in the middle of the pitch.
However, the ball stopped short of the boundary where Australian left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc picked it and threw it to Tim Paine who claimed Azhar Ali’s wicket.
The Pakistani player was sent back to pavilion after scoring 64 runs.

Azhar Ali run out whilst chatting with Shafiq in the middle, thinking he s hit a four. Except he didn t. Dumb and dumber.
Easily the stupidest piece of cricket I ve ever seen in 35 years of watching and playing cricket.
