Australia continued their supreme run of form in World Cup 2015 as they thrashed India by 95 runs in the second semi-finals at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Chasing 329 to win, India managed to score only 233. With this win, Australia will face New Zealand in the finals at the MCG on the 29th of March to get their hands on the coveted title for the fifth time.
What began as a routine question in a normal Cricket World Cup news conference was transformed into a moment of social media gold by a slip of the tongue. In an unintentional attempt to form the words “you’ve had tremendous success” while interviewing Australia captain Michael Clarke, BBC Sport’s Stephan Shemilt instead blurted out “you’ve had tremendous sex” and the whole room, led by Aussie batsman Steve Smith, dissolved into a fit of the giggles.
Clarke, who is captaining Australia for the first time in World Cup, replied with a broad grin: “That’s a question for my wife.” Here is the video of it:
This is not the last time the slip of tongue happened as later that year during Ashes Michael Clarke also had a slip of tongue.

Come again, Michael? #bbccricket https://t.co/MaVHLbXVLw
