Australian journalist shares good times with Pakistani Uber driver

MELBOURNE: Senior Aussie journalist Steve Smith raves about his amazing experience on Twitter while riding an Uber cab with a Pakistani driver in Melbourne.

The ESPN journalist took to Twitter to share his fun and positive experience chatting with the Pakistani born on the go.

He tweeted saying;

My Uber driver tonight is a man from Pakistan who arrived here by boat in 2012. I’ve never met someone so grateful to be here. “Australia is the BEST country and Melbourne, I LOVE MELBOURNE! I made the best decision!” He’s positively beaming. Amen my man.

Coincidently the journalist who shares his name with the seasoned Australian cricketer was humouredly asked if the talked about cricket with the guy.

Oh we talked cricket 😂😂😂

And while many appreciated his positive remarks some who still confused him for the Australian cricketer were only focused on why he isn’t playing with the team!

There was this incident involving sandpaper. Not sure if it made the news or not …
