Cricket: Test captains Kohli and Paine meet Australia Prime Minister

The Australia and India cricket teams met Australia Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday (January 1st), on the eve of the fourth Test in Sydney. The leader welcomed Australia skipper Tim Paine and his wife Bonnie and children at his official residence at Kirribilli House in Sydney, before Morrison also met Paine's India counterpart Virat Kohli and partner Anushka Sharma. However, the star of the whole show was an appealing dog whose high-pitched squeal interrupted Kohli's press conference. How's that? Kohli took the surprise guest's interlude in good humour - not surprising given his well-known love of canines - and, after 'pawsing' for effect, showed his pedigree as he laughed and said the dog agreed with him that there was 'no pressure' on the tourists. India hold a 2-1 series lead and have retained the Border-Gavaskar trophy ahead of the fourth Test.
