Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
He calls a six "a lucky edge" and blames the wind, even when there is none.
At the end he admits he never said he supported Farhan's team. His excuses were his way of not praising the rival side.
Worth noting
He clearly saw the shot, since he gives excuses for it.
