AUSTRALIA’s star opener David Warner once again set the Internet ablaze as he joined the ‘Barbie’ trend with his new Instagram reel. He gave the reel a little cricket touch and made it more iconic.
In the video, posted by David Warner on his official Instagram, he can be seen taking a stunning catch while diving into the pool. The cricketer is wearing a pink swimsuit which is the iconic colour theme of the Barbie franchise.
Warner wrote “Ken In Action” on the clip in reference to the male protagonist of the Barbie movie. The background music in the video is the famous ‘Barbie Girl’ song by Aqua. The reel is going viral on the internet as fans are loving it.
On the three-month-long tour of England, the Australians completed a unique double – winning their maiden World Test Championship title and retaining the Ashes. The Ashes series finished tied 2-2 after England won the fifth Test at The Oval.
England and Australia were docked crucial ICC World Test Championship points and hit with fines for maintaining a slow over-rate during the recently-concluded men’s Ashes 2023.
Under the revised regulations, they were fined five percent of their match fee and one WTC point for every over short.
According to ICC, Australia have been docked 10 WTC points from the recently-concluded Ashes series for a slow over-rate in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, while England lost 19 points combined for falling behind in four of the five Tests.
Notably, teams earn 12 points for a Test win, four points for a draw and no points for a loss in the WTC. Typically, a team needs to bowl 90 overs in a day.
England fell two overs short in the first Test at Edgbaston, nine in the second Test at Lord’s, three in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, and five in the last and final Test at The Oval.
