Mohammad Rizwan followed in the footsteps of Alex Carey when Pakistan took on South Africa in the Cricket World Cup, with a throw at the stumps after the batter had left the crease, but unlike for the wicket of Jonny Bairstow, he did not appeal slots
The Bairstow dismissal on the fifth day of the second Ashes Test match at Lord’s become one of the talking points of the summer, both Australian and British Prime Ministers added their opinions on the matter as debate raged concerning the ‘spirit of cricket’ slots
There were other more questionable actions that day from the MCC members towards the Australians, and the Ashes was set alight slots
England did not lose another Test and it sparked a flurry of sixes from Ben Stokes that briefly threatened the state of the game at the Home of Cricket slots
A few months later, Rizwan did the same as Carey had slots
The ball from Haris Rauf flew over the off stump, Aiden Markram had a wild swish to the leg side slots
The batter – just as Bairstow had done – tapped his foot in his crease before leaving it, and Rizwan lobbed the ball into the stumps slots
Rizwan was left grinning and holding his arms out but decided not to appeal slots
Carlos Brathwaite on Test Match Special, said: “The difference for me slots between that and the Bairstow one, is the length of time that Rizwan had the ball in his hands for slots
He had the ball in his gloves for a few seconds, put his head down, and then threw the ball slots
“Alex Carey threw the ball instantaneously slots
It is close enough to draw parallels but as we say, he wasn’t going for a run out in the end slots
Rizwan was smiling with Markram afterwards slots

Fly-half Handre Pollard says the pressure of representing South Africa at the World Cup is a privilege as he bids to inflict more misery on England slots
Pollard kicked 22 points in the 2019 final to guide the Springboks to glory with a 32-12 win and still remembers the disappointment etched on the faces of Eddie Jones’ men slots
The fit-again Leicester playmaker is competing with Manie Libbok to start Saturday’s Paris semi-final after initially being overlooked for his country’s squad due to a calf injury slots
Pollard expects England, now led by Jones’ successor Steve Borthwick, to take their intensity and physicality to a “whole new level” but insists the heavily-fancied reigning champions are ready for it slots
“You could see on their faces four years ago the disappointment and I’ve been part of a squad that’s fallen out in a semi-final in a World Cup (in 2015) and it sits with you the rest of your life,” he said slots
“There’s a lot of things you look back (on) and regret and maybe think you could have done differently, and I’m sure they will come with that mindset this weekend slots
“I think they will be ruthless, I think they will take their intensity and physicality to a whole new level slots
“But that being said, we’re prepared for that, we’re ready for that and we enjoy that slots
“That’s always a part of the game we love and if there’s going to be beef, there’s going to be beef slots
“It’s Test rugby, it’s 80 minutes and we’ve just got to go out and play the game slots
”South Africa are seeking to reach their fourth World Cup final, having lifted the trophy in 1995, 2007 and 2019 slots
Pollard believes the Springboks’ enviable ability to deliver when it really matters can partly be attributed to adversity some players face during childhood slots
“It’s just the way we’re brought up,” he said slots
“We love it slots
“It’s not always been easy for a lot of our guys in our squad growing up so when we get to this position and get to this point where there should be a lot of pressure on us, we refer back to it a lot, this is not really pressure, this is more privilege to be a part of these occasions slots
“I think our game model and the way we play the game suits World Cups pretty well slots
We’re comfortable in this environment slots
“As a group we just enjoy it, really enjoy that pressure slots
We always say it’s a privilege to have this pressure on our shoulders playing for our country slots
”South Africa progressed to the last four by upsetting hosts France 29-28 on Sunday slots
That epic contest included Cheslin Kolbe successfully charging down a Thomas Ramos conversion and Damian Willemse calling for a scrum off a mark inside his own 22 slots
Earlier in the tournament, the Springboks attracted attention for a bold selection of a seven-one split of forwards and backs on their bench for the Pool B loss to Ireland slots
Pollard says players fully embrace the innovative tactics cooked up by director of rugby Rassie Erasmus and head coach Jacques Nienaber slots
“Nothing that they do is for no reason, it’s all thought of, it’s all tick-list planned,” he said slots
“We trust them because they’ve earned our trust over the years from what they’ve done and how they’ve prepared slots
“So when they come up with these ideas, there are no questions asked slots
“They give us a reason why we do whatever we do and then we just back it and we’re all in and we all just trust each other, players to coaches and coaches to players slots
