The clangerIf ever there was an example of how a seconds indecisiveness could cost you on the cricket field, this was it. Mohammad Nabis rank long hop should have been dispatched. But Tamim Iqbal, who was slightly off balance as he struck a pull, mistimed it towards mid-on where Asghar Stanikzai, the Afghanistan captain, made a right royal mess of it. He seemed to be confused whether to take the catch with his palms facing the sky or the traditional way. As it turned out, he was pressed for time in the end and the ball bobbled out. Tamim, on 1 then, went on to add 117 more.The embarrassmentIf the dropped chance was embarrassing, several such moments were in store for Afghanistan. Another instance came in the 28th over when Mirwais Ashraf messed up a regulation stop. He did all the hard work by running around the ropes to stop a powerful cut at deep point, but fell over as he tried to flick the ball back to his partner. In the process, he dived over the ball to concede a boundary. Later, in the penultimate over, Mohammad Shahzad couldnt stop the ball with both his legs as a throw rushed in from deep square leg. It was Mahmudullah who was given a reprieve this time.The missed hat-trickMushfiqur Rahim hasnt quite been able to execute the slog sweeps in this series. In the first two ODIs, he was bowled and trapped lbw respectively. This time, he should have been caught trying to play the stroke. But Afghanistan were in a generous mood. Dawlat Zadran was the culprit this time as he put down a chance at deep square leg. The only hint of solace was that the ball may have been dipping on him, making it much more difficult that it initially appeared.The clanger, part twoMushfiqur Rahim dropped Asghar Stanikzai in the first game and missed Najibullah Zadrans stumping in the second. There was scrutiny over his wicketkeeping ahead of the third ODI and unfortunately, he missed another chance. In the eighth over, he couldnt fully reach Nawroz Mangals edge off Shafiul Islam. It was a tough catch to complete but one that you would expect from an experienced keeper. Damian Miller Jersey .
