Bob Hawke delights SCG crowd with another beer skol
Former Prime Minister Bob Hawke has skolled another beer to a standing ovation at the SCG, the second time he has done so in recent years.
The 87-year-old was in attendance during day two of Australia's third Test against Pakistan on Wednesday when he appeared on the big screen with beer in hand.

The SCG crowd started a 'skol' chant and the former PM obliged, necking the frothy to the delight of those in attendance.
Aussie skipper Steve Smith and coach Darren Lehmann were seen watching on and applauding.
It's the second time Hawke has produced the party trick in recent times, with the following video going viral in 2015:
Hawke famously set a yard glass world speed drinking record in 1955 as a student at Oxford University.

Bob Hawke is dead set legend! 87 & still pounding beers at the cricket, it doesn't get any more Australian.
