Holder to Markram, 1 run, this is not true. It cannot be. Akeal Hosein has dropped the easiest catch of his career. How? Only he would know. Markram toe-ended the loft high into the night sky and almost started walking towards the pavilion. Akeal got under the ball, took it with both hands and just he tried to gain control, the ball slipped off his palms and fell onto the ground. Strange! And does not sit well with the kind of standards he set for himself in the field...
