As the high-voltage Ashes is inching closer, the Australian stars are going back to the red-ball format as they are sweating hard in the ongoing Sheffield Shield tournament. Ahead of the epic clash with their arch-rivals, Steve Smith returns to captain his domestic side, New South Wales, sharpening his game for the big stage.

After ending the nerve-wrecking white-ball series against India, Australia has shifted its focus to the red-ball format as another exciting edition of the Ashes is on the way. As the Aussie superstars are sharpening their game in the Sheffield Shield tournament. While facing Victoria, New South Wales skipper Steve Smith’s hilarious toss blunder grabbed attention.

Coming to toss, he failed to flip the coin. The coin barely left his hand before touching the ground. Losing the toss, Smith and Co. had to go for bowling. As Queensland faces West Australia, Marnus Labuschagne’s hilarious reaction to this had fans in stitches.

“Honestly, I already messaged him about it. Just ridiculous. Like, he has dropped the coin. I think he thought as he threw it. He was like ‘Can I get a redo? Is that gonna be counted or are we gonna have to throw it up once again? So, that was very comical, as he always does; he always entertains us somehow,” Marnus said.
