Adam Zampa tricks Mohammad Rizwan into using DRS with clever 'take it' ploy; commentators amusingly react to PAK captain's blunder

Rizwan hesitated, unsure whether to go for the DRS, so Zampa slyly asked him if there was any bat involved. Taking advantage of Rizwan's uncertainty, Zampa urged him to take the DRS, saying, 'You should take it.' Falling for the trap, Rizwan went ahead and requested the review. Zampa couldn't resist taunting Rizwan about his habit of appealing for everything, teasing him with, 'You appeal for everything.' The banter between the two players continued as they battled it out on the field.

Rizwan: You heard something?

Zampa: I don't know. You blokes appeal for everything.

Rizwan: We may take it [DRS] now

Zampa: Oh you should. You should

And Rizwan signalled the 'T', thus evoking a burst of laughter from the commentary panel. It wasn't Rizwan's decision to take the DRS after confirmation from Zampa, but the very fact that he asked him if there was edge involved is what makes for this hilarious brainfade. As the review concluded, there was daylight between the ball and the bat and ball.

"I think there's nothing there. I didn't hear anything," said David Warner on commentary before Adam Gilchrist chipped in "Nah, I don't think so. Did they go up in time or what?" A third commentator said, "Well the fact that they are having a discussion there, there could be. 'You should take It' was the advice."

Incidentally, this happened just a few deliveries after Rizwan put down a skier against Zampa. After Zampa top-edged the ball, Rizwan was one catch away from owning the record for the most number of dismissals by a keeper in ODI innings, but despite almost getting in position of the line of the ball, Rizwan dropped it. Two balls later, Shaheen Afridi let go another tough change to make it four dropped catches in the innings for Pakistan.

Thankfully, the dropped chances and the DRS gaffe didn't hurt Pakistan much as they bowled Australia out for 163. Or who knows? Perhaps it did. Haris Rauf emerged as the star with the ball, claiming 5/29, and aided well by his fast-bowling partner Shaheen, who grabbed 3/26 in eight overs. Steve Smith was the only batter, who displayed some ounce of resistance, scoring 35 off 48 deliveries.

Pakistan started their response with the bat patiently, with openers Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique playing out the first 10 overs cautiously without losing a wicket.
