Kerry O’Keeffe gave a big statement
Let us tell you that 74-year-old Carey O’Keefe, who played cricket for Australia between 1971 and 1977, said through a video uploaded by Fox Cricket – Is this Test series being played just for excitement? You won’t be able to beat Australia on morale alone. Pakistan gave gifts yesterday on Christmas. Would Sourav Ganguly have brought a Christmas gift for Steve Waugh, no.
Carrie O’Keefe further said- You have to show a great game to win against Australia. You must have some aggression. It is very pleasant for Pakistan since the beginning of Boxing Day Test.
