Australian crowd is one of the harshest bunch of people that one could imagine. Whenever a series is played down under, one such incident does get reported where someone from the crowd hurls abuses at a player. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

On Friday, England's Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes were at the receiving end from the bad-mouthed crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground(SCG). <\/p>\r\n\r\n

After the duo had added 99 runs for the fifth wicket and was returning back to the pavilion, a fan from the stand right next to England's sitting area began to welcome Bairstow and Stokes with some harsh words. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

“Stokes, you’re fat. Take your jumper off, Bairstow, lose some weight Bairstow,” a fan said. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Stokes did not react to the abuse directed at him but stopped at the top of the stairs after the remarks made to his teammate. A fuming Bairstow then returned fire at his abuser.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

“Pal, that’s right. Just turn around and walk away. Weak as piss," Bairstow replied to the abuser. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
