Ashes 2021–22: Australia Opt for Tight Field Placement Against England in 4th Test at Sydney Cricket Ground, Netizens React!
Australia applied a lot of pressure on the English tail-enders and that paid off to some extent with Steve Smith finding the edge of Jack Leach's bat and David Warner taking a sharp catch. But James Anderson and Stuart Broad used all their experience to ensure that England saved the game as they played out the last two overs safely despite such tight field placement.
England might have been successful in saving the fourth Test match against Australia but the hosts did everything they could to notch up their fourth win of the series. Australia captain Pat Cummins had a tight field placement with less than 10 overs remaining with eight men circling the bat, a picture of which has gone viral with netizens lauding the hosts' skipper.
