#3 Steve Smith mimicking Jack Leach

The third Test of Ashes 2019 was arguably the most enthralling Ashes encounter ever. Ben Stokes' magnum opus - 135* (219) led England through to a famous win. With just one wicket in hand and England needing over 70 runs, Stokes still cleared the fence with aplomb. England no.11 Jack Leach's ability to defend and leave the ball perhaps gave that extra belief to Stokes.

Determined Aussies came back strongly in the fourth Test, winning it and retaining the Ashes. Steve Smith weaved magic on the field with his awe-inspiring batting scoring 211 and 82.

The victory celebrations saw, Smith wearing spectacles reportedly mocking Jack Leach who has a tendency of wiping glasses in between deliveries. Enraged England fans took on to Twitter to express their anger.

Coach Justin Langer denied the allegations claiming that Smith was impersonating former Australian opener Chris Rogers who used to wear spectacles.
