The first ball of the 28th over, bowled by Harbhajan, was dispatched very quickly to the boundary, and in attempt to catch the ball that was coming like a hurricane, a “youngster” (as Waqar put it) mis-fielded, and injured his knee. He was shown a couple of times after that, and had tears coming out of his eyes, and nobody there to comfort him. Finally, another “youngster” came to the rescue, and offered sympathy/kind words (hopefully).
I feel sorry for that poor kid. Bechara sar chupa kar ro raha tha. Koi bhi nahin tha uskay paas…
lol... yea i saw that. he was being greedy. These ball boys have certain territories and he ventured into the other guys territory and fell in the process of trying to get there first. :-p
I would have atleast expected some physio from the pak team to go and talk to him and maybe even administer some of that magic spray on him.. even if it was a publicity stunt, it would have helped pak team's PR a great deal. He did get hurt pretty bad. But thats the sad fact about life in Pakistan. Money talks. If youre poor and down, you're on your own.
This thread includes the entire first day’s worth of play, divided into video segments. Try downloading the appropriate video, it should be in there.
I would love to agree with you, and I do, but sadly, this is what these poor kids have to face, each and everyday of their lives. I felt terrible about him. He was in so much pain, and was trying to hide it. I felt what he felt at that time.
On one hand, you sit down and watch a game in a happy state of mind, thinking about all the possible boundaries and sixes, and on the other hand, incidents like these make us realize that there are people out there who need us, more than we need them.
