After Abdullah dropped the catch, captain Shan Masood as well as bowler Aamer Jamal looked disappointed and covered their faces with their hands in frustration. Mark Waugh said this Now talking about Shafiq’s poor catching technique, Australian all-rounder Mark Waugh said, the cricketer opened his hands more than necessary. It felt as if ‘the jaws of a crocodile were trying to catch the ball.’ Waugh said, I think you have to remove Shafiq from there. He was not seen taking a single catch in the entire series. It’s exactly like trying to catch a ball with the jaws of a crocodile.
