VIDEO: Pakistan cricketer’s trousers fall down trying to save a boundary at the World Cup

That's pants

Conan Doherty

This is the sort of thing you don’t dream of as a kid when you think of one day playing in the World Cup.

But poor Yasir Shah was left red-faced this morning despite his team’s win over South Africa.

The Pakistan international lost his trousers – yes, he lost his trousers – mid-game.

Well, he didn’t lose them but they dropped around his knees as he dove at the boundary in a desperate bid to prevent a 4.

Shah took off after big a hit from Shahid Afridi and, as he scrambled to prevent a boundary, he clattered into the hoardings and saw his trousers come loose before realising that it was all for nothing as the South Africans celebrated.

Good day for tighty whities though.
