NEW DELHI: A day prior to the highly-anticipated Boxing Day Test, Australian stars on Wednesday were seen spending quality time with their families at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The G resembled an annual function of a nursery school as it was all about family and fun for the Aussies, who unwound with their loved ones.
With the Christmas holidays beginning around the world, the Australian cricketers that included skipper Pat Cummins, Travis Head and others enjoyed quality time with their loved ones at cricket's biggest Colosseum.
"It's great. We spend probably more time on the road than we do at home. So this is kind of a big extended family and at the moment it's chaos. It feels like there's, I don't know, on average probably two kids per person.
"So there's about 30 or 40 kids running around between the staff and the players. It's great fun," Cummins looked very chilled when asked how special the gathering is.
Talking about a big extended family, Cummins said how all the wives and partners got along nicely to create a very happy environment.
"All the partners get on so well. This year we haven't had as many partners travelling (for matches) because everyone has got young ones at home. But they all come together for the Melbourne and Sydney Test.
"It's always a great time of year, so we'll go off to Christmas lunch after this and all the kids have got presents this morning and running around and hyper, so it's absolute chaos but it's awesome," he concluded.
