In front of an enthusiastic crowd, a member of the Barmy Army in England proposed to his Australian girlfriend at the Ashes Test in Brisbane.
Rob proposed to Nat, his tragic cricket lover, during day three at the Gabba. Television cameras captured the moment.
While he is removing the ring from his hand, he distracted his girlfriend by looking at himself on the screen.
