[Saba Sports News] Day three of the Australia vs Pakistan Test at Sydney Cricket Ground was marked by the Australian team’s resilience in their second innings, though play was shortened due to rain and poor light. During this match, the late Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds, who tragically died in a car accident last year at 46, was remembered fondly. His children stepped into the commentary box, displaying their commentary skills, a nod to their father’s own post-retirement career in broadcasting.
Before the third Test, Pakistani players, including Shan Masood, Babar Azam, Muhammad Rizwan, Shaheen Afridi, and Haris Rauf, interacted kindly with Symonds’ son, showing respect for the late cricketing star.
Australia, despite weather disruptions, maintained a strong position, conceding only two wickets in their second innings on day two. The match at the iconic SCG, known for its rich cricket history, continues to promise more captivating play.
Andrew Symonds is remembered for his remarkable cricketing career. He played for Australia in 26 Tests, 198 ODIs, and 14 T20s, excelling in batting, bowling (both medium pace and off-spin), and fielding. Symonds played a crucial role in Australia’s success in several World Cups and the 2006-07 Ashes series against England. Known for his dominance in white-ball cricket, he also proved his worth in Test matches, scoring 1462 runs at an average of 40.61 and taking key wickets, cementing his legacy as a versatile cricketer.
