Cricket PlayersWatch: Alex Carey accidentally falls into swimming pool of Australia's hotel, Pat Cummins shares hilarious video
Australia captain Pat Cummins shared a video of Alex Carey falling into the swimming in the team's hotel as they gear up for the second Test against Pakistan in Karachi.
Australia and Pakistan are gearing up for the second Test in Karachi and the visitors seem to be having their fair share of fun. Australia captain Pat Cummins shared a hilarious video of wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey falling into the pool in the team's hotel as they were walking through it. Carey did not seem to notice that he was about to be pushed while he stood at the edge of the pool and could be seen throwing his cell phone to his team mates after falling in the water.
The video went viral with former Australia fast bowler Brett Lee saying that Carey's "phone will be ringing wet ”.
The second Test of the historic series starts on March 12. It is the first time in 24 years that Australia are touring Pakistan.
The series began in Rawalpindi but the match itself turned out to be a disappointment due to a batsman-friendly pitch. It eventually petered out to a draw with just three innings being played.
The pitch was criticised by a number of former players and Cummins himself said that it was prepared to nullify the Australian pace attack.
On Wednesday, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ramiz Raja issued a statement on the pitch in the 1st Test, where he said that they cannot prepare “fast or bouncy pitches” and make the conditions more favourable for the Aussies.
“I understand the fans' frustration and it would have been great if there was a result in this Test match. But do remember that this is a three-Test series and there is a lot of cricket left to be played. We cannot make a fast or bouncy pitch for the heck of it and put the conditions in Australia's lap. It is important that when we play at home, we play according to our strengths,” Ramiz said.
