The Pakistani cricket team always finds a way to stay in the news, but this time they made the news for all “ridiculous” reasons. In the second Test against New Zealand, two Pak hitters, Faheem Ashraf and Shan Masood, wasted their DRS reviews. One should know that a team gets only three DRS in one entry in the test-match cricket and fans would have appreciated that visitors would have used some tact before deciding to opt for reviews.

The first was taken by starter Shan Masood, who was declared LBW after the ball hit his toe. It seemed normal, but the opener decided to review it. The only way the decision could have been overturned was if he had scored the ball. But that was not the case and the DRS was to no avail.
It’s a tie between Shan Masood and Faheem Ashraf for the stupidest review ever taken. #NZvPAK #DRS pic.twitter.com/aJwUOm0rWG

Shan given out there. He gives a look that says ‘I’m absolutely plumb’. He walks down the court, his partner tells him he’s completely plumb. They talk for a moment, somehow decide which is one to review. Turns out, I was absolutely ready! An all time bad review! #NZvPAK

Faheem reviewing a catch on the first slip maybe overshadowed this one in shit.

Faheem Ashraf later outplayed Kyle Jamieson, but thought otherwise only to squander another DRS opportunity. After the incident, some Pak supporters took to Twitter and mourned their own heroes.
