*ISLAMABAD – Pakistani batsman Azhar Ali has responded over his runoutwhich is termed as the most bizzae runout in the history of cricket.*
*He joked that he was preparing for a “life-time of teasing from hischildren”.*
“I know I will be asked this question for a long time now, especially whenI go back home,” the batsman said. “My sons will ask it in a funnier way …they’re going to speak about it for years,” he said.
“Whenever I say something to them they are going to come back to me aboutthis run out.”
Ali was involved in a comical run out on the third day’s play of the AbuDhabi Test against Australia.
Ali and Asad Shafiq were standing in the middle of the pitch chattingbecause both batsmen thought Ali’s ball had crossed the boundary rope for afour — problem was that it stopped a few inches short.
Mitchell Starc collected the ball from the boundary and Tim Paine knockedover the stumps to complete the run out, all while Ali and Shafiq stoodchatting.
