Pak-Australia Perth ODI marred by controversies | Sunday's ODI match between Australia and Pakistan would be remembered for all the wrong reasons.
First, Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi was caught biting on a ball and then Pakistani
batsman Khalid Latif was tackled to the ground by a Perth spectator. Latif expressed
deep concern about the tackling incident. "It shouldn't be happening. It just
should not be happening. It is not that big a deal to me because I am OK. I am
not hurt. It was nothing too shocking, but it was still not what you want to have
happening in a game of cricket," the Sydney Morning Herald Quoted him, as saying.
"I think the fans who go should remember why they go and they should not spoil
it for the players and the other people at the ground. People should be at the
game to support and enjoy the game. But it doesn't make me angry, nothing like
that because I am OK," he added. PCB chief Ijaz Butt said Pakistan would consider
lodging a complaint with the International Cricket Council after receiving a report
from team management. "I have never seen anything like that before. I am not sure
why a person would want to hit Khalid. I am certain the local authorities will
be looking at the incident, and we will consider what course to take once we have
received a report," he said. Australian fast bowler Clint McKay said: "I thought
it was a disgrace. To touch one of their players is just not on. You can't have
that." ''It's the worst thing that can happen on a cricket ground and is something
you don't expect to see. For it to happen twice in one night is pretty unusual,"
he added. |
