UK PM Rishi Sunak trolled Australia PM Anthony Albanese after the latter posed with a picture of Jonny Bairstow getting stumped by Australia's Alex Carey in the Lord's Test.

Bairstow's stumping had triggered a 'spirit of cricket' debate.

Sunak trolled Albanese by jokingly saying, "I'm sorry...I didn't bring my sandpaper with me." Sunak was referring to Australia's 2018 ball-tampering scandal.
