- Fan bizarrely told Aussie skipper ‘I love your wife’ in comment section
Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins has delivered a sarcastic response to a follower’s bizarre comment about his wife on social media.
Cummins took to Instagram on Valentine’s Day to pay tribute to his wife Becky, posting a photo of the pair holding surfboards.
He captioned the post: ‘Super-mum, wife, my valentine and apparently a pro-surfer too. Happy Valentine’s Becky Cummins.’
It didn’t take long for Cummins to receive plenty of positive feedback, including a strange comment reading: ‘I am Indian, I love you your wife’.
Cummins cheekily responded to the fan: ‘I’ll pass it onto her!’
Cummins has impressed the cricket world with his reply to a fan’s ‘I love your wife’ comment
The Aussie skipper’s post delighted fans, who have ‘liked’ it close to 7000 times.
Cummins had an incredible 2023, doing what the likes of Steve Waugh, Mark Taylor and Allan Border could not.
It started with the Aussies getting their revenge against India, beating their old rivals in the final of the Test Championship in the UK.
Cummins skippered the Aussies to a memorable – and often spiteful – drawn series in England that meant Australia retained The Ashes, even without injured spin star Nathan Lyon.
Then came the most unlikeliest of ICC Men’s World Cup wins in India, overcoming consecutive losses to open the tournament to finish with a memorable victory over the shell-shocked hosts in the final.
Receiving the Johnny Mullagh Medal was fitting, as Cummins became just the second Australian in history to take 10 wickets in a match while captaining the side.
The other is Border.
The Australian cricket captain had an incredible 2023 season by any measure
Cummins was a prodigious teenager famously mentored by the great Dennis Lillee.
Now he is breaking his master’s records, reaching 250 Test wickets with a superior average and strike rate – while captaining his country.
Among Australian pace bowlers, only Lillee and Glenn McGrath (55) have gotten to the 250-wicket mark in fewer Tests than Cummins’ 57 (Mitchell Johnson also achieved the milestone in 57 Tests).
He is the 10th bowler from Australia to reach the mark, joining teammates Mitchell Starc (342 Test wickets) and Nathan Lyon (505) on the coveted list.
