During a recent press interaction, Australian captain Pat Cummins found himself in an amusing situation when a question about England's challenging performance in the ICC Cricket World Cup was posed. Cummins, unable to suppress his amusement, responded with a broad smile, attempting to maintain a composed expression but eventually breaking into laughter upon hearing the inquiry from an Australian journalist.

Just moments before this light-hearted exchange, Cummins had referred to the players from New Zealand, whom Australia is scheduled to face in an upcoming match, as "good mates."
However, a crafty Australian reporter took the opportunity to ask Cummins about his perspective on England's recent struggles in the World Cup. The journalist tactfully inquired, "You mentioned good friends in other teams. It must have been heartbreaking to see England suffer last night?"
In response, Pat Cummins couldn't conceal his laughter, while stating, "Yeah, it’s sad to see."
