ICC Posts ''Karma'' Tweet To England Fans For Trolling Steve Smith

144 and 142 in Birmingham. 8 runs short of a third successive Test hundred at Lord’s. Double hundred (211) at Old Trafford. Out for his lowest series score (82) in the second innings of the 4th Ashes Test. It was how it went for Steve Smith in the ongoing Ashes series so far. The right-handed batsman smashed all the records on his way to help Australia achieve massive success. Meanwhile, ICC took the chance to troll England fans.

Fast bowler Pat Cummins finished with match figures of 7-103, while former captain Steve Smith scored 293 runs at Old Trafford as they sealed a 185-run win that ensured they retained the sport’s oldest trophy with a match to spare.

Steve Smith scored 671 runs:

The tourists lead the series 2-1 with just the final game starting on Thursday at The Oval remaining, ensuring that Paine would be the first Australian captain to bring the Ashes home from England since Steve Waugh in 2001.

Earlier, in the first Test at Edgbaston, we came across some fans wearing masks with Steve Smith’s crying face on it. But it took just over a month for Smith to shut up his critics as he marked his return from the one-year ball-tampering ban by returning to the top spot in the ICC Test ranking for batsmen, dethroning India captain Virat Kohli from the position.

Now, arguably every cricket fan on the planet is terming it as indisputably Steven Smith’s Ashes. Even the International Cricket Council couldn’t resist trolling the English fans for their hostile behaviour, particularly towards Smith.

Following Steve Smith knock, Pat Cummins led the way before Josh Hazlewood struck as Australia retained the Ashes with a 185-run win over England in the fourth Test at Old Trafford on Sunday. England, set a huge target of 383 to win, were bowled out for 197 following some spirited lower-order defiance.
