In a video posted by Fox Cricket, the kids can be seen playing with a water bottle and running to complete runs. Former Australian and an active commentator & broadcaster Mel Jones delighted the kids in a heart-warming gesture.
The commentator gifted the girls a brand new Kookaburra bat to play the game they all adore so much. A former broadcaster was then seen bowling to the young girl, batting with her new bat, and striking the ball. The video is being liked by the fans on social media in great numbers.

Talking about the Womens' Ashes test, Australia after being put in to bat first, declared their innings on 337/9 with half-centuries from Haynes (86), captain Lanning (93), Tahlia McGrath (52) & Gardner (56). However, Katherine Brunt's five-fer helped restrict the other batters. In reply, England were looking at a certain collapse, which was averted by their captain Heather Knight's fantastic knock of 168 runs which took their total to 297. At stumps on day 3, Australia are at 12/2 in their second innings with a lead of 52 runs.
