All-rounder, Kavem Hodge found the funny side as the stump technician came in to change the bails during the break on Day 3 of the pink ball Test between Australia vs West Indies.

While the Test match between Australia and the West Indies is turning out to be a thrilling contest at the Gabba for the second Test in the two-match series, the Caribbean side still finds a way to have a bit of banter during the match.

As the West Indies side was regrouping during a break, all-rounder Kavem Hodge saw the funny side as one of the technicians was working on the stumps which light up when the stumps are broken and at times would require a technical adjustment.

The technician was replacing one of the bails as Hodge walked up towards the stumps and was speaking to the stump-mic where he said,” We have a review for bail change, please give me your best bail angle. Seems like a fair bail,” as the player broke into a fit of laughter. This was a funny take on how the umpires go through the DRS review generally.

Hodge has been decent after making his Test debut during the series against Australia. With the bat, he managed to score 71 off 194 deliveries while building a partnership with the wicket-keeper batter, Joshua da Silva to push the side to posting a score of 311 in the first innings.

Fielding a very inexperienced side, the West Indies have put up a very impressive fight against the reigning World Test Champions, Australia as they came close to taking the game away from the home side in the fortress that is the Gabba.

But the quality of the Australians prevailed as the experienced side managed to come back with Pat Cummins leading the side. However, a win is very much possible from the West Indies side as they would have to put up a stellar bowling performance if they are to have any chance of a win to level the Test series.

Australia are currently at 60/2 at stumps on Day 3 of the pink-ball Test as they require 156 more runs to win the game. With 2 days remaining and Steve Smith finally finding his touch with the bat in his new role as the opener, chances are unlikely that we could see another major upset at the Gabba as Australia are within reach of whitewashing another Test series.
