Travis Head’s funny conversation with the West Indians –

Travis Head has been in amazing form with the bat for Australia in test cricket. The left hander is playing in front of his home crowd at Adelaide. During the late evening session, West Indian skipper Brathwaite was heard asking Head “if it is always cold here and is it like this at night?”

Head first thought he was speaking about the low attendance for day 1 of a test and said there are large crowds expected on weekends. The West Indian wicket keeper Joshua Da Silva then said the question was about the weather to which head said it was always cold. Da Silva then relayed the message back to his skipper.

The left hander became Devon Thomas first test wicket as Australia were soon 131 for 3 after losing Steve Smith for a duck. Head came into join Labuschagne and the pair have added an unbroken 199 run stand.
