Australian cricket stars have been spotted drowning their sorrows at a pub after their Test series loss against India.
India secured their first ever series win in Australia after 71 years of trying following the wash-out of the final Test in Sydney.
Australian players Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins, Mitch Marsh, Marcus Harris and Josh Hazlewood commiserated the loss with a few beers at The Royal Oak in the city’s affluent eastern suburb of Double Bay on Monday evening.

A day earlier, Lyon was all smiles when he stepped out hand-in-hand with new flame Emma McCarthy in the same suburb.
The spin bowler and his glamorous girlfriend took turns carrying Lyon’s niece, who is of a similar age and close friends with the children he shares with his ex-wife Melissa Waring.
The little girl appeared in high spirits when playing with Ms McCarthy, giggling as she was tossed in the air by her uncle’s new girlfriend and comfortably clutching at her waist.
The trio were joined by Lyon’s brother Brendan and parents Bronwyn and Steve.
The public family outing came after Ms McCarthy was finally welcomed into the coveted WAG inner circle.

The women’s display of solidarity alongside the blonde beauty came amid rumours the group had vowed to shun Ms McCarthy in support of Lyon’s ex-wife and friend of the group, Mel Waring.
And that appeared to be the case for the past 12 months.
But on Saturday, Ms McCarthy made her stunning debut at the Sydney Cricket Ground’s Pink Test, linked arm-in-arm with some of the most high-profile WAGs on the Australian cricket circuit.

The glamorous real estate agent wore a floor-length white and pink floral gown for her first Cricket Australia function – the Jane McGrath high tea held in the city’s Entertainment Quarter.
The pair made headlines for beginning their relationship amid Lyon’s split from long-term partner and mother of his two children, Melissa Waring.
According to The Daily Telegraph, this made it hard for the 26-year-old Perth real estate agent to settle into the WAG family, as they continued to support Ms Waring.
After the series defeat, captain Tim Paine said Australia was outplayed in the final two tests.
‘You have to tip your hat to India. We know how difficult it is winning overseas so congratulations to Virat (Kohli), Ravi (Shastri) and your team, it’s a huge effort and the first time it’s ever been done,’ he said.

Lyon and Ms McCarthy have recently become a lot more comfortable appearing in public with one another after the controversy that initially shrouded their relationship.
Lyon left his wife of nine years to begin a relationship with Ms McCarthy, which was revealed after images surfaced of the pair kissing in a stationary car.
At the time of the break-up, an emotional Ms Waring told Daily Mail Australia ‘we have two small children I have to put first… I’m the one being f***ed around here.’
