England’s young all-rounder Jacob Bethall, who was in the headlines even before the Boxing Day Test, has once again become a topic of discussion. This time the reason was neither his game nor any statement, but a strange incident that happened while fielding on the field. Which ’embarrassed’ him in front of the camera.

Strange incident happened during fielding

Jacob Bethall was fielding for England in the Boxing Day Test being played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. During this time, he tried to stop the ball by making a spectacular dive near the boundary. The dive was excellent, but while sliding his pants slipped down a bit. Usually this happens many times in cricket, but this time the matter was different.

As soon as the camera went to Bethel, their problems became clearly visible. The reason was that the innerwear he was wearing had a picture of the Ashes trophy printed on it. This was clearly visible in the camera and after this the clip quickly went viral on social media. The reaction of 22 year old Bethal was also worth seeing, he was seen trying to recover immediately, but by then the camera had done its job. On this, some fans believe that this could be a way of teasing the Australian team, while some are calling it just a coincidence.

Melbourne test is important for England

Talking about the match, Melbourne Test is very important for England. The Ashes series 2025-26 has already gone out of England’s hands and Australia has won the series. In such a situation, the Boxing Day Test has become a battle of prestige for England.

Australia’s first innings was lackluster

The Australian team, which came to bat first after losing the toss, was all out for 152 runs in the first innings. Michael Neser scored the highest score of 35 runs, while Usman Khawaja scored 29 runs and Alex Carey scored 20 runs. Josh Tong bowled brilliantly for England and took five wickets. Apart from this, Gus Atkinson got two wickets.
