A video of a batter's practice is going viral on social media. In the clip, the right-handed batter could be seen playing in the nets. The bowler bowls a fuller delivery down the leg stump and the batter plays a flick shot on it towards the fine leg region where a water tank was placed. The ball hit the bottom part of the plastic tank so hard that it bursted and the pitch was submerged within seconds. The batter was also taken aback with the result of the shot.
Pakistan players Aamer Jamal and Abdullah Shafique were involved in a dramatic collision during the recently concluded third and final Test match against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

As a result of poor communication, the duo collided but luckily avoided any serious injury.

While Warner received a lot of praise and tributes following his final Test match, a cryptic post by former Australia teammate Damien Martyn has gone viral on social media.

Rizwan folded his hands in respect when approaching a female member of the family and she also reciprocated his gesture.

Steve Smith complained about something on the side screen that was distracting him while batting. It is quite common for batters to adjust the side screen or complain about some crowd movement while batting. However, it turned out to be a little bundle of tape that was causing the problem and the commentators were left amused.
