Some of the users on social media lauded Gillespie’s “grace”, while presuming that the empty bottles were thrown around by the Pakistan players, who left those as is before exiting the training area.
“Hats off to Mr Gillespie,” wrote one fan.
Meanwhile, the ground staff at the Rawalpindi stadium are doing everything possible to dry up the wicket as much as possible in order to help the Pakistan spinners, especially Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, who took all 20 English wickets to fall in the second Test at Multan.
Three heaters and fans are being used on either side of the track in order to dry out the 22-yard strip.
The second match of the series was played on the same track in Multan that got worn-out and cracked after being used in the first Test, which assisted the Pakistan spinners.
