Headingley is witnessing another thrilling chapter of the Ashes series, where not only skillful cricket but also amusing banter is on display.
The latest addition to this tradition unfolded during the third Ashes test at Headingley when England’s Jonny Bairstow sent Australia’s Steve Smith back to the pavilion.
As Smith walked off, Bairstow couldn’t resist a playful jab, saying, “See ya, smudge!” However, Smith, who is never one to let things slide, quickly responded, asking, “What’s that mate? Hey?” Bairstow, with his trademark quirkiness, corrected himself, saying, “I said, ‘Cheers, see ya later.'”
