The incident happened after Australia won the last test match by 185 runs and were celebrating hard after winning the series. The picture of Steve Smith mocking at Jack Leach went viral on social media. Now on Friday, Somerset tweeted a picture of Steve Smith and Jack Leach having a chat with each other.
