As rain caused a delay in the match between the English and Australian sides, four young girls were seen playing cricket in the stands. With the plastic bottle being used as a bat, the young girls got the cricketing action going even during the rain. The visuals soon caught everyone’s attention including that of former Australian cricketer Mel Jones who was commentating at the match.
Jones walked up to the girls and gifted them a brand new Kookaburra bat. Later, she along with her fellow commentators also joined the girls in the match. Jones was seen bowling and umpiring in this game at the stands.
What a beautiful moment 😍 @meljones_33 gifting a brand new @KookaburraCkt bat to these kids using a bottle during the rain delay 👏
