A video of Australian cricket team stars Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa having a hilarious conversation with a taxi driver is currently going viral on social media. In the video, the taxi driver was heard having a conversation about cricket with the two stars but he failed to recognise the World Cup winners. “Do you know anything about cricket?” Maxwell asked the taxi driver and he replied that it was his favourite sport. However, he had no clue that two Australian cricketers were sitting in his cab and when asked about Maxwell, he even said that he was a "good player". Eventually, he was able to recognise them. According to some social media posts, this video is a few years old.
Australia and West Indies on Tuesday named their playing eleven for the upcoming first Test match of the two-game series in Adelaide. According to cricket.com.au, Aussie skipper Pat Cummins confirmed the return of Cameron Green to the side that has been rearranged after David Warner retired from the longest format. Steve Smith will play the role of an opener in Test cricket for the Aussies. Meanwhile, West Indies have announced that they will bring in three debutants, with the Caribbean skipper Kraigg Brathwaite revealing that middle-order pair Kavem Hodge and Justin Greaves, along with pacer Shamar Joseph, will all play their first Test.
MELBOURNE : Pat Cummins confirmed Australia's new-look batting line-up on Tuesday with Steve Smith to open and Cameron Green at number four in the team to face West Indies in the first test at Adelaide Oval from Wednesday.
Australia's young all-rounder Cameron Green isn't feeling any pressure as he is going to embrace the number four spot in the Test team. Green was brushed away from the team during Australia's recent triumph against Pakistan in the three-match Test series. Following David Warner's retirement, Steve Smith has moved to the top of the order leaving the number four spot for the 24-year-old for Australia's upcoming two-match Test series against West Indies which will begin on January 17 in Adelaide.
Star Australia batter Steve Smith opined that his team did not take him seriously when he told them that he wanted to move to the top of the batting order after David Warner's retirement. Smith said today that looking at himself as an opener for the first time in a 13-year Test career first came to his mind while playing against England during last year's Ashes series when Warner first gave signs of his potential retirement from the longest format of the game.
Australian batter Steve Smith stated that the reason he moved to the opening spot following David Warner's retirement is simple, that he does not like to wait for his batting. Out of many incumbent players like Travis Head, the white-ball opener, Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Marsh, who has also opened in white-ball cricket, Smith put his hands up and offered to move to the very top of the batting line-up. This new look line-up will start its journey without Warner during the two-match Test series against West Indies from January 17 onwards at Adelaide.
