Read on the application
Australia also won the second Test of the three-match series against Pakistan to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. Boxing Day at the Melbourne Cricket Ground ended on the fourth day and at one point it reached a very exciting turn. Pakistan eventually lost by 79 runs. The ongoing Test series in Australia has not been good for Pakistan’s star batsman and former captain Babar Azam so far. In the Melbourne Test, Babar was dismissed after scoring 1 run in the first innings and 41 runs in the second innings. While he was batting, Australia’s star batsman Steve Smith, who was fielding in the slips, was troubling him a bit. The video of the scuffle between the two batsmen has gone viral on social media.
Great work by Cummins, included in the list of Australia’s greatest bowlers.
33 overs had already passed in Pakistan’s second innings and at that time Saeed Shakeel was at the crease along with Babar. Babar seemed to be in a good rhythm and Smith was telling him something from behind as he prepared to face the ball with his guard. Babar suddenly returned and after handing the bat to Smith as if to say come and bat, Smith then tied Babar’s hands. Watch the video here-
