The Queensland Police rubbed some salt onto the wounds of England cricket fans following their team’s defeat to arch-rivals Australia in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
“The tears of English cricket fans have made driving conditions tricky this morning. Drive safe Brisbane,” the police force wrote on Twitter in a tongue-in-cheek warning to motorists in wake of rainy weather.
Australia became the first team to qualify for the semi-finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 after defeating hosts England by 64 runs at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground on June 25.
The tweet has already been liked and shared thousands of times with many users rubbing it further in for England fans with hilarious comments.
