Late Andrew Symonds’s kids make commentary debut at PAK vs AUS 3rd Test

Late Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds’ children turned commentators on Day 2 of the 3rd PAK vs AUS Test, doing a fabulous job with the mic. Australia resumed their 2nd innings on Day 2, frustrating Pakistan further as the visitors managed to get just 2 wickets throughout the day. The play ended early as rain and bad light forced early stumps at the SCG.
