During the Australia vs. Pakistan cricket test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, an eager cameraman captured an unsuspecting pair red-handed.
The two were hoping that by hiding out in the nosebleeds of the 100,000-seat stadium, they would go unnoticed as they, well, expressed themselves. However, a perceptive camera operator had a different notion.
The audience erupted with cheers as the camera focused on the couple during a clip that was shown on the MCG’s big screen. After the third day of play on Thursday, a video of the incident was shared on social media and rapidly gained the attention of even Australia’s greatest cricket players.
The vision depicts the couple’s horrified reaction upon realising they have been thrust onto the big screen. The young woman hastily leaped away, and her partner trotted down the stairs with his sweater covering his face, looking like he was walking in shame.
The young guy got “a standing ovation from the crowd” as he slithered out, according to SEN Cricket announcer Adam Collins.
“Obviously they’re not meant to be having a kiss and cuddle up there at the back of the Ponsford Stand and the whole crowd has risen as one to them,” he stated.
The duo was accused by Australians of “ball tampering” and “stroking one through the covers” after a viral video of the event went viral overnight. “I was there today, and I thought this was hilarious,” someone commented.
