Watch: Ijaz Ahmed reacts funnily after being given out

It was the second Test between Australia and Pakistan at Hobart in 1995. Pakistan were batting in the second innings with Ijaz Ahmed and Inzamam-ul-Haq at the crease. Greg Blewett, the Australian all-rounder bowled an in-swinger at Ijaz, who was at the strike. Ijaz tried to be casual and leave the ball with his pad just outside the line of the off stump. His judgment, however, is wrong as the ball nips back in and hit him on the pad.

Blewett turn around quickly to appeal and the rest of the team also gets vocal. Darrell Hair gives him out without any second thought. Ijaz could not believe as he watches the umpire. he puts his hand on his head and shakes it in disbelief.

Meanwhile, Greg Blewett and the Australians celebrated as Ijaz start began walking slowly to the pavilion. It was the Blewett’s second Test wicket of the career.

In real time, it looked to be coming back far enough to hit off and middle. As there was no bat involved, the only decision the umpire had to make was whether the ball would hit the stumps or not. In today’s DRS world, this decision might be overturned on review. But, rules were slightly different at that time.

The way Ijaz Ahmed reacted to the Darrell Hair’s decision was priceless. Everyone must have been amused looking at him expect for Ijaz and the Pakistan team.
