Courtesy: Twitter (@CricketAus) New Delhi: Then, in January 2012, the former former Prime Minister of Australia Bob Hawke made headlines for skolling a beer at an Australia-India Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Keeping the tradition, the 87-year-old on Tuesday repeated the act the hallowed ground by knocking down another coldie, this time during an Australia-Pakistan match.
But the only difference was, in 2012, Hawke was walking through the crowd to get the beer offer to him; while on day before yesterday, he was in the stands with journalist Charles Wooley.
