Melbourne, Jul 6 (ANI): Australia, who lost against Pakistan in their first Twenty20 match at Edgbaston by 23 runs, had to face plenty of rowdy scenes from the huge Pakistan contingent which resorted to throwing plastic drink bottles at the Australian players.Several bottles were thrown at the Australian team dugout, with vice-captain Cameron White having to intercept one of the missiles before it hit a teammate.Captain Michael Clarke reported the incident to match officials and security staff, and as a result the on-field presentations were moved away from the boundary edge and closer to the centre of the ground, The Courier Mail reports.Security is sure to be increased for the next Twenty20 game between the two teams at the same venue on Wednesday.Australia fared poorly with Clarke failing again with the bat and the team being bowled out for 144 chasing Pakistan's 8-167.
