It is difficult to beat the multi-cam facilities in a cricket stadium as it tends to catch every minute incident in the field. Amidst the riveting battle between Australia and South Africa Women in the One-off Test, Ellyse Perry was spotted in a fancy celebration with Darcie Brown at WACA.

Following South Africa’s collapse at 76 in the first innings, the hosts stockpiled 576 runs on the back of Annabel Sutherland’s double hundred coupled with Alyssa Healy’s 99 and fifties from Beth Mooney and Ashleigh Gardner. The gargantuan total demanded exceptional batting in the third innings from the Proteas Women but things went haywire as their resilience bowed before the Aussie bowlers leading up to a fancy celebration attempt between Ellyse Perry and Darcie Brown.

After troubling Sinalo Jafta with a mix of outswingers and nip-backers using the second new ball, Darcie Brown finally earned his deserving reward when the wicketkeeper-batter ended up dragging a fuller length delivery back at the stumps. This seventh-wicket dismissal was followed by a strange gesture between Brown and Perry. The Australian all-rounder crossed his forehands pointing towards the fast bowler and tried to celebrate the wicket by clapping with her hands. However, Brown was seen bewildered in the attempt as she tried to cross her arm but failed to join her palms with that of Perry’s.

The Twitterverse picked this moment and could not shy away from their views.

Girl's thing!
