Despite involving many twists and turns, the second Test between Pakistan and New Zealand ended in a draw on Friday. But, more importantly, bad light leading to stumps when the game was all set for a nail-biting finish frustrated the fans. 

Like most of the fans and experts, former South African captain AB de Villiers also seemed frustrated with the game's outcome. 

De Villiers, who holds the record for the fastest ODI century, highlighted the law's loophole and suggested modifications to it. 

Here's what De Villiers tweeted

"Another little grey area in the rule book, imo. If the fielding team is told to bowl spin because of bad light and they take the option, they should be forced to finish the overs with spin until the Umps call it off, cause they can bring seam on at any time to finish the match,

“If the batting team manages to get it down to 5 or so runs required, the fielding team can just opt to bring on a seamer. Not fair, in my opinion."

Meanwhile, the three-match ODI series between the two teams will commence on January 9.
