[Watch] Alzarri Joseph gives death stare as two fielders look at each other instead of attempting the catch in Australia vs West Indies 1st T20I

West Indies pacer Alzarri Joseph lost his cool during the first T20I against Australia in Hobart on Friday (February 9). That came the two fielders at deep backward square and deep mid-wicket kept looking at each other. In the process, Tim David got a reprieve in the 19th over of the Australian innings.

Joseph bowled a low fill toss and David ended up to-edging the slog but escaped. The fielders waited for each other to cover 15 yards and take the catch. The bowler came up with a long stare at the fielders for not attempting the catch.

“If looks could kill... Alzarri Joseph was NOT happy with this fielding effort”

Watch the clip below:

To add fuel to the fire, David smashed him for a boundary off the next ball.

Joseph finished his spell with 2/46 in his four overs. He recently bagged seven wickets in two Tests and returned with three scalps in his two ODIs against Australia.
