Australia (132 & 205/2) defeat England (172 & 164) by 8 wickets to win 1st Ashes Test and take 1-0 in 5-match series

[Justcrazy]

Carse out

Poms 8 down

They need a little cameo partnership here

 

[Devadwal]

How many runs temu Tendulkar scored? Ohh missed the century by 92 runs in both innings combined.

 

[Devadwal]

164 all out.

19 wickets on day 1.

11 wickets so dar in Day 2.

But yes Sir what a beautiful cricket and pitch

 

[BouncerGuy]

England lead by 204 runs

Aussie winning this or 205 will prove too much for them?

 

[Devadwal]

9 wickets fall in a single session on day 2. Beautiful cricket my

 

[Usman Chadda]

What terrible batting, look at how South Africa are applying themselves in difficult conditions in India and look at these clowns trying to drive everything and anything.

What a mockery of test cricket and this is really T20 cricket being played in a test arena.

 

[Devadwal]

Whoever win i don't care but this is lowest quality cricket.

 

[tiger_khan]

164 all out.

19 wickets on day 1.

11 wickets so dar in Day 2.

But yes Sir what a beautiful cricket and pitch

It is a beautiful pitch

Bowlers made the batsmen to make mistakes

Even You would have gotten 10 wickets on Calcutta pitch against South Africa because of the inconsistent bounce


The bounce is consistent on this Australian pitch. It's just a high bounce but consistently high.

 

[Ali Active]

Not lowest it still looks beautiful to watch unlike watching test in indian air

Whoever win i don't care but this is lowest quality cricket.

 

[TheSultan]

I have a feeling, the Aussies are going to take their time and try and make England toil. Hopefully the England bowlers are fit enough.

What a test match.

The batting has been atrocious but great viewing.

 

[Markhor]

What on earth. Just woke up and the 4th innings is about to start.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Epic reaction from Stuart Broad...

Maybe this pitch sux.

 

[Devadwal]

3 innings at Eden Gardens - 171.2 overs

3 innings at Perth - 112.5 overs

But sir death of test cricket at Eden garden and long live cricket at Perth

 

[Independent Observer]

Head to open.

 

[Usman Chadda]

Maybe this pitch sux.

The pitch doesn’t make you play idiotic airy fairy drives.

 

[Independent Observer]

The pitch doesn’t make you play idiotic airy fairy drives.

The dismissals of Pope, Root, Brook and Smith was rubbish batting. Pure and simple. Thats what caused their collapse.

 

[TheSultan]

Poor start from Jofra, doesn’t seem up for it second innings.

Mediocre pace, maybe stiff

 

[DeadlyVenom]

The Nagin rivalry also carries just as much pressure, if not more, because of the pressure they play low-quality cricket? Genius

You are being silly now

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Tough, tough batting conditions. Need better batting pitches. These kookaburras will do something even on flat wickets.

England can't sustain bowling long spells . The Aussies can

 

[Devadwal]

Even a 10 year old cricket fan tell you this is terrible pitch for test cricket

 

[TheSultan]

Naah, I’m not impressed with how England have come out in this 4th innings. Seem to be going through the motions

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Any Aussie or English cricketer who can't take the pressure of playing in the Ashes shouldn't even be a cricketer in the first place.​

We will see how they fare across the course of the series.

On day one both sides wanted to set a marker. When a team is psychologically not in a good place collapsed can happen too. This shakiness carried into day 2.

I suspect that this series will end a few careers on th Aussie side.

The good thing about a 5 match series is that it gives good players time to regroup and push on, and hopefully players like Smith and Root will be at their best soon.

 

[Devadwal]

You are being silly now

Root never Scared a test century in australia because of pressure. So according to your logic he can't perform under pressure , isn't it?

 

[RidiculousMan]

Naah, I’m not impressed with how England have come out in this 4th innings. Seem to be going through the motions

Looks like their pacers are out of gas

 

[Independent Observer]

@Devadwal did you put money on England or Australia???

 

[AAli98]

These up & coming Aus players are not test standard.

Hope they don’t resort to Indian tactics & start pitch doctoring in future to win.

 

[Devadwal]

@Devadwal did you put money on England or Australia???

NOt on match but session / fall of wickets.

Current bet fall of australia 1st two wickets over 21 runs

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Root never Scared a test century in australia because of pressure. So according to your logic he can't perform under pressure , isn't it?

It will be a topic of discussion when his career ends for sure. Will it make him a bad player - no. He has performed in pressure situations in the past but if he fails again in an away Ashes it will be a black mark against his name yes.

Not sure why the pressure aspect is difficult to understand.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Naah, I’m not impressed with how England have come out in this 4th innings. Seem to be going through the motions

Ran out of gas on day 2

 

[Devadwal]

NOt on match but session / fall of wickets.

Current bet fall of australia 1st two wickets over 21 runs

Damn gone. Look like I'm lossing this bet

 

[Devadwal]

Not out. Bach gye guru.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Ran out of gas on day 2

This is why I don't rate these glass made pacers. They come in bowl great in 1st innings and then go missing in the next.

Same with Bumrah. No wonder he doesn't have a 10fer

 

[Independent Observer]

Bet succeeded then. Aus 22/0.

You gotta wonder how some of the dressing room conversations go in the England camp.

The bowlers must ask the batting side what the hell they are playing at. We got us into a good position and you threw it away, now we need to charge in again.

Archer is quite a temperamental guy. Wood has been training like an astronaut for 2 years. It must have some frictions in the dressing room, when the batting underperforms.

 

[Independent Observer]

@Devadwal ab pitch ko thanks bole dey

 

[Independent Observer]

Khawaja injury might be a blessing in disguise for Australia. Stick with Head as an opener and can bring Webster back down the order with Khawaja going out. Also means they can retain Marnus at #3.

 

[Devadwal]

@Devadwal ab pitch ko thanks bole dey

This pitch is like lottery for Punter. Made huge money on fall of wickets.

 

[Devadwal]

Head is smashing England. Lovely

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Absolute dire from the batsman. The bowling group cant keep on bailing these clowns out. But I guess this shows the quality of the batsmanship since T20 effect has gripped world cricket. Sad!

 

[Devadwal]

Khawaja injury is blessing in disguise for Australia. Opening with head is totally changed the momentum.

 

[kingusama92]

English bowlers are down on energy here. The terrible batting probably knocked the wind out of their sails.

 

[Devadwal]

This is vintage England. Back to the normalcy aka mediocrity

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Really disappointed with this. We have virtually thrown away a Position of Real Strength. Theres absolutely no excuses for this. Abysmal from England!

 

[Ali Active]

Head actually will win it for Australia

 

[anikrc1]

Basically England's most promising team of all time is lesser than probably the second weakest Aussie team of my life time.

 

[Independent Observer]

Aussies bazballing here

 

[kron]

Travis head >>>>>££ jaiswal
>>>>>>> kela

@mominsaigol

 

[kron]

Far better. Travis head defecates on all current Indian batsmen

 

[RidiculousMan]

Ball has been setting up nicely. All bowlers apart from Archer have been a bit too short.

All English pacers also seem to be out of gas.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Finally. Carse strikes!

 

[Energy]

So this test match can finish today. England are good advocates for 2-day tests. Their batsmen don't last more than 30-40 overs anyway.

 

[Independent Observer]

Here comes tuk tuk Marnus

 

[Devadwal]

One down. Can England fightback ?

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Very Poor approach by Stokes and the Bowlers in this innings. England Tail was comfortable against the short stuff. The wicket is predictably true. Where's the discipline line and length bowling gone!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Carse is a poor man's Steyn and I like that

 

[Ab Fan]

Where is Travis Head fan girl these days?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Very Poor approach by Stokes and the Bowlers in this innings. England Tail was comfortable against the short stuff. The wicket is predictably true. Where's the discipline line and length bowling gone!

The wheels have come off it seems.

No Starc or Hazelwood, this was England's moment to lay down the gauntlet.

But the batting under delivered.

 

[RexRex]

It's all one way now. Eng deserve this humiliation.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

@Devadwal did you put money on England or Australia???

Do you really think someone can make money from just 10 rupees of pocket money through betting?

 

[pillionrider]

Where is Travis Head fan girl these days?

Travis Head fans are only fans vs India.

 

[Markhor]

England have nobody else but themselves to blame. A Perth Test win was there on the plate but they didn't put the hammer down in the 2nd innings.

Generally this pitch flattens out on Day 2 and 3 as well.

Long series ahead and Australia's batting is also fragile, but feels a big missed opportunity with no Cummins and Hazlewood.

 

[pillionrider]

Fake bazballers being taught real bazball

 

[pillionrider]

Travis Head slapping Stokesy 4,4,4

 

[Romali_rotti]

Wow, I didn't expect this.

All hail David Boon

Whoops I meant Travis Head

 

[Energy]

Stokes has been embarrassed by Head here. Chullu paani needed.

 

[RexRex]

Stokes is so overrated.

 

[kingusama92]

Absolute destruction from Head. Ice in his veins under pressure as usual.

 

[Devadwal]

This is a poor game of "Test" cricket. Poms reckon Bazball is saving Test cricket. If this game is anything to go by they're deluded

 

[pillionrider]

Real Bazball. Four 4's

 

[Devadwal]

Dump Khawaja and play head as an opener throughout the Ashes

 

[Independent Observer]

Do you really think someone can make money from just 10 rupees of pocket money through betting?

I was only joking around, bro.

Head opening up a can of whoopass on Stokes.

 

[RexRex]

We could have won the BGT in Aus third time in a row if it weren't for the clutch Travis Head.

 

[Devadwal]

94 runs needed from 26 over. They should extend game for another 30 minutes to finish the game today.

 

[volcyz]

Travis Head what a legend

 

[aboveandbeyond]

The wheels have come off it seems.

No Starc or Hazelwood, this was England's moment to lay down the gauntlet.

But the batting under delivered.

Batting approach is to Predictable. They just never play to the game situation.

 

[TheSultan]

I blame Jofra. The opening bowler sets the pace and the standard. He came out very lethargic in the first over - 133k.

Very poor. Lift yourself up.

This is why he got criticised in the past, things haven’t changed

 

[Independent Observer]

Moustache man is destroying them.

 

[BouncerGuy]

So it was not trash pitch afterall.... England is gonna lose by 9 wicketS????

 

[Devadwal]

England practiced well against India to surrendered against Australia.
