Australia vs Pakistan: Shaheen Shah Afridi's fielding bloopers leave Twitter in splits

While the home side scored heaps of runs on Day 1, some fielding blunders from Pakistan only added more misery to the visitors' outing. Many Twitter users certainly had their funny bones tickled, considering Pakistan is renowned for being one of the worst fielding sides in the world.

Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test: Shaheen Shah Afridi’s fielding bloopers

When in full flow, explosive opening batsman David Warner needs little to no help from opposing fielders. However, some loose fielding from Shaheen Shah Afridi helped Warner get three boundaries on his way to another Test century. In a first of a series of hilarious fielding bloopers, Warner clipped Mohammad Abbas off his pads for a double. Shaheen quickly grabbed the ball and his throw bisected the Pakistani fielders on its way to the boundary. Due to this effort, Warner’s two converted into a bizarre six and Warner reached his well-deserved Test fifty.

Shaheen Shah’s miserable outing on the field continued throughout the day. Some 17 overs after his overthrow, Afridi misjudged a Warner cut short over the boundary which was glaring due to the fact that the light should have played much of a role in it. Furthermore, another incident occurred when Warner was batting on 116. The left-hander hit another cut short and in an attempt to save the boundary, Afridi himself kicked the ball towards the ropes after attempting to save it.
