A heated argument from Day 2 of the first Test between Australia and Bangladesh has gone viral on social media. Pacer Mitchell Starc lost his cool when Mehidy Hasan Miraz tried to give a reason to the umpire after running on the pitch. The Bangladesh batter nudged Starc’s delivery on the off side and went for a quick single. As the fast bowler’s follow-through was also around the same line, Mehidy changed his direction and ended up running on the centre of the pitch.

Tanzid Hasan became the first Bangladeshi to score a Test century in Australia as the visitors dominated to reach 351 for 6 at Stumps on the second day of the first Test in Darwin on Friday. Inspired by a superb 101 by opener Tanzid and an entertaining 84 from captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh lead the hosts by 153 runs with four wickets in hand.
In his defence, Mehidy said, “He is in the pathway. His remark angered Starc, who said, “It’s my follow-through, not yours. The action didn’t go unnoticed as umpire Kumar Dharmasena warned the batter. Get off the wicket.
