Razzaq still counting cost of his goof-up

Bowler Wasim Akram could not believe his eyes. “Tujhe pata hai tune kiska catch chhoda hai (do you know whose catch you have dropped)?” Akram screamed at Razzaq who wished the ground would open and he would escape the fury of his former captain.

Akram was furious as Razzaq had ignored his command to stand at the edge of the circle at mid-off and had come too far inside the ring. “Tu agar wahan khada hota to aasan catch tha (had you stood there it would have been an easy chance),” thundered Akram at a sheepish Razzaq. Razzaq had his own reasons to come inside the ring. “I knew Sachin is very good at placement and wanted to stop those sharply run singles.”
