Australia crushed Bangladesh by an innings and 51 runs in Mackay on Sunday. The win levelled the two-Test series 1-1, with Mitchell Starc taking 10 wickets in the match. Bangladesh were bowled out for 64 and 95 as Australia completed a dominant victory.
The match scheduled for 5 days, ended in just over 5 sessions, with Australia levelling the series in Mackay. Now with three days off, Iceland Cricket, known for its satire, found plenty of humour in the swift finish. The viral social media account suggested a trip to the Nordic nation with the money they had received from the truncated contest.
"Including win bonuses, the Australian cricketers each earned about 50,000 AUD for the Test win in MacKay. That's just under 67 AUD per ball. They can even afford trips to Iceland at those rates!" it posted on its X handle.
The account continued its satire by turning its attention to the empty days left by the early finish. “Day 3 golfing coverage from MacKay is also necessary,” Iceland Cricket wrote. It also shared an earlier post calling for live coverage of the players' golf rounds on days four and five when matches finish early.
