South Africa v Pakistan 2012-13
Pakistan opening batsman Mohammad Hafeez was given out for obstructing the field against South Africa in the fourth one-day international, a rare dismissal made possible by International Cricket Council rule
changes.
Hafeez's body blocked a throw by South Africa wicketkeeper AB de Villiers as the batsman ran to the non-striker's end. He was ruled to have changed the direction of his run to prevent a run out and was given out according to a rule introduced by the ICC in 2011.
Previously, batsmen were allowed to change their course as they ran between ends to put themselves between a throw and the stumps. Hafeez angrily ripped off his gloves when he was given out.
