Australia on Thursday beat England by 6 wickets to take an early lead in the 3 match series. The first game at Adelaide saw Australia win the game and take a 1-0 lead as they head into the 2nd game on Saturday at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Amidst all the international cricket happening, the players also have their eyes on the big IPL auction. The event is going to take place on 23rd December as a select few players are scheduled to go under the hammer for the TATA IPL 2023 season.
The story as it happened –
It was a big day for the TATA IPL teams and players as that was the day it was slated for players to be released or retained. Most of the teams released the players they deemed surplus to requirements for the upcoming season.
Jos Buttler sledges Cameron Green –
Chasing 288 to win, Australia began well before a few wickets towards the back end of the game. Cameron Green, came out to join Steve Smith and was having a tough time against Liam Dawson. The tall all rounder wasn’t able to time the ball and deposit him out of the ground.
Jos Buttler, the English captain noticing this had a quip which began with “Good to see someone playing a show Daws!!!. This was followed by chats and comments of “Chasing the ink Daws” before finally Buttler said “Big auction coming up Daws”
It was good of @josbuttler to remind Cam Green about the upcoming IPL auction 😂
