‘Hey mate, what’re you up to tonight?’ deposed Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has asked former Australian Test Cricket captain Steve Smith in a text sent this afternoon.

‘Not a whole lot mate,’ Smith answered in a concerningly quick reply. ‘Was just going to go down to the nets for a bit but could probably give it a miss. You doing much?’

The leaked conversation paints a picture of two men who, frankly, don’t have a whole lot going on in the next few days.

‘Have you seen Black Panther yet?’ Turnbull queried in a follow up message to the disgraced cricketer, this time on Messenger.

‘Nah but I think it’s out of cinemas now dude.’

‘Ah srs? Smh.’

‘I think we could still catch Ant-Man and The Wasp?’

‘Nah let’s just watch something at home. I’ve actually never seen the Bourne movies.’

‘Oh really? They’re really good.’

‘Yeah I heard. Watch those?’

‘Yeah there’s three of them so probs will be too late to watch all of them.’

‘Do you have work tomorrow?’

‘Oh lol no. Let’s watch them all.’
