Yasir Shah can't stop giggling at this rendition of Pakistan's national anthem

Can we blame him?

Updated 04 Jan, 2017

Ever had a giggling fit when you really, really shouldn't?

It happens to all of us, but cricketer Yasir Shah's inappropriate LOL moment was unfortunately caught on camera!

Before the onset of the PakvsAus test match yesterday, an opera rendition of the Pakistani national anthem was performed, and Yasir Shah appeared to find this version really funny.

He could barely contain himself! Watch it here:

It's okay, Yasir. It's not you, it's the singer, says this guy:

But even she found a supporter in the crowd:

We feel you, Yasir!

Its shameful to have a national anthem in foreign language words.

He is in that state because of the vocalist style of delivering the anthem. Which is indeed funny for any national anthem.

As we've seen the lacklustre performance of pak bowlers in two test matches it is apparently that we are not good at anything. Pak crickey is not producing food stuff. It needs mega changes

Anyone will laugh at this, when a girl is wearing desi dress you think she'll sing it properly but when she makes it into some kind of an opera what else the person will do? A person is patriotic by heart, you can be a 100% patriotic while at the same time laughing at things like this! Even i laughed...this is what we call a 'normal' reaction..

No surprise, I have seen Yasir on TV, he is giggling 99% of the time. As if the singer was singing for an opera. This must have triggered this funny moment.

Well, she should not be singing National Anthem like that. It's not Opera nor It feel Pakistani. When I heard what she did with National Anthem, I also broke into laugh unintentionally. Though I listen and like Opera too, especially by Luciano Pavarotti.

Everyone needs to grow a sense of humour. Urgently. That rendition of the anthem is cringe worthy at best and Yasir's reaction is funny. Bless his happy heart.

Not Yasir's fault. He perhaps has not been exposed to next generation of Pakistani diaspora abroad. It must have made the parents of anthem singing girl very proud. He found it funny and could not control his laughter. Most children in western countries do not speak their ethnic languages.

I personally do like him smiling; so much better than some who are morose. Why on earth should it bother some?

Yasir Shah act during National Anthem is very surprising. Even at this age and that plate-form he should meant his behaviour. It was a serious matter.As a mark of respect,it should have sung the Anthem or should have stood calm and quite with respect.
