Most Stupid Cricketing Moment

[Pit Steel]

What do you think is the most stupid thing a cricketer has done during a cricket match? It can be something which has got them in trouble, something which has lost them a cricket match, or even win one, maybe a stupid masterstroke, or something which has had an amusing outcome.

The World Cup '99 semi-final between Australia and South Africa, I think you all know what happened. SA needed one run to win to qualify for the final, with one wicket remaining and Alan Donald ran himself out, and the Aussies qualified for the final on superior net-run rate in the Super 6 or something like that

So what are your stupid cricketing moments?

Yeah the Murili moment. It's amazing how someone so experienced can do that. The World Cup SA cock-up was a big one.

WTF? nobody can call that "stupid", Misbah actully saved us, the Pakistani fans rather appreciate him for a great knock.

I think for me is, Loosing the 99 World Cup final, I wasn't watching it live, but i did see the highlights. We were a strong team, but there was alot of mess in our dressing room, I think it was stupid of us not winning, no offence to Aussies ;P.

Heres a stupid decision that occured... just about 8 minutes ago.

Shoaib Malik electing to field on one of the most flat tracks ever...

i know man not only pakistanis but i also really loved that knock with four sixes in the end... but it was really disappointing that he chose to play that risky shot and i found it stupid...
