The England team is mid-way through a tough tour of India, they already lost the Test series to the hosts 4-0 though they had a bit of a break between that and the start of the limited-overs leg but things didn’t quite start on a positive note for the visitors as they also lost the first ODI to the Men in Blue. In tough times what keeps the players up and charged is some humor. Ahead of the second ODI in Cuttack, English cricketers Joe Root, Alex Hales, and Stuart Broad had a funny exchange on Twitter.

England opener Hales was sleeping in the team bus with his headphones on, they possibly reached their destination while he was still quite deep in his sleep and Root couldn’t help but click a picture and obviously posted it on Twitter. He hashtagged it with glamour probably it looked too glamorous to him.

“Captured your best side perfectly here @AlexHales1 #glamour”

When Stuart Broad came across the tweet he quoted it and said that Hales’ nose looks different which indicated that he probably had a nose job to get it in the desired shape and structure along also mentioning that he can still see the double chin. “His nose looks different… double chin still there tho!”

How could Hales take that blow and not comeback? He is an opener and a hard-hitter so he scanned through the search engine and found an image of Broad from a few years back when he had a receding hairline and under it added a more recent image where the flaws appear to be undone and everything looks pretty normal. Hales sarcastically said we shouldn’t be talking about what’s looking different.
