Australia’s Prime Minister aimed a jibe at Rishi Sunak today amid rising tensions before Thursday's crunch Third Ashes Test.
Anthony Albanese warned Rishi Sunak to “stay in your crease” as the furore over the Aussies’ controversial Second Test dismissal of England batsman Jonny Bairstow at Lord’s threatened to escalate into a full-blown diplomatic incident.
Cricket-loving Mr Sunak accused Australia of breaking the spirit of cricket by claiming the wicket. But he was taunted by his counterpart Down Under, who sneered: “Mr Sunak must have had the same lessons I got at primary school... stay in your crease. Hope you're well, PM.”
