It was a comical moment during the game when Naseem Shah bowled an overhead wide to Adam Zampa of Australia, and Pakistan’s wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan immediately appealed for a caught behind after collecting the ball.
The umpire, however, didn’t give it out and turned to Zampa, asking if he wanted to review the decision. The conversation was picked up by the stump mic, where Rizwan asked, “Did you hear something?”
Zampa, adding a touch of humor, replied, “You seem to appeal for everything.” Rizwan then quipped, “Should I take the review now?” Zampa, still in a lighthearted mood, responded, “Yeah, you should take it.”

As the review was underway, it became clear that the ball was a bit too high, with no mark on Snicko. Eventually, the delivery was called a wide, and Pakistan lost their review.
It was an amusing exchange that offered a rare glimpse into the banter and decision-making that goes on between fielders during the game.
