Australian Fans Thrown out of the Stadium
According
to a report published in The Sydney Morning Herald, a couple of Australian fans
were thrown out of the stadium after abusing England's fast bowler Jofra
Archer. The pair were sitting near the boundary where Archer was fielding.
"Jofra, show us your passport, referring to his Barbadian origin, the
comment was one of the observations reflecting poor taste.
Australian
supporters sitting close to the Australian dressing room had to be removed by
authorities after several complaints by their neighbors. The 24-year-old fast
bowler was frustrated with the constant provocation, but he did not respond.
Day
1 of the fourth Ashes Test was sad and windy, and only 44 overs were possible
to play, due to rain. Apart from the delay caused by the storm, which played a
poor sport, it was very frustrating for England that Archer failed to take a
single wicket.
On
the other hand, Australia's Steve Smith (60*), who made a comeback after a
run-out made his eighth straight Ashes half-century. The series is level 1-1,
and a win for the Australian team will ensure they retain the Ashes on
England's home soil.
