The first test match of the Ashes series 2023 is in a very interesting phase as Australia needs 174 runs to win and it still has 7 wickets in hand with complete one day remaining of the match. Though Australia has lost three important wickets of David Warner (36 runs), Marnus Labuschagne (13 runs) and Steve Smith (6 runs), Usman Khawaja is still on the crease and they have batting deep down in their line-up.
There is no denying the fact that Steve Smith was an important wicket and Barmy Army, the supporting group of the English cricket team, is leaving no stone unturned in making him lose his confidence as the English supporters were seen teasing him by reminding him of Sandpapergate which happened in South Africa.
Steve Smith was the skipper of the team at that time (2018) when this incident happened and he took all the responsibility of whatever was done in order to tamper the ball. While apologizing for his misdeeds on television, Steve Smith cried profusely and Barmy Army tried to recall him those times by singing, “Steve Smith – We saw you cry on telly”.
Well, that is quite rude of Barmy Army, isn’t it?
