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

[RexRex]

Unbelievable innings this.

 

[Devadwal]

Rare incident when I enjoy head batting . Keep smashing these overrated bunch of Tullebaaz.

 

[Independent Observer]

Head single handedly embarrassing England.

 

[BouncerGuy]

PLEASE STAY ON TOPIC.

STOP DOING INDA PAKISTAN HERE

 

[Independent Observer]

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

Bouncer bruh, England only got themselves to blame for this.

 

[RidiculousMan]

I would bring Root for a couple of overs and entice Head to take on the spinner. England need to gamble

 

[Devadwal]

Bouncer bruh, England only got themselves to blame for this.

England always finds a way to screw themselves over time and time again.

During the bazball era I’ve not seen a team squander so many promising situations through self inflicted braindead actions.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Archer pace is down 10 KMH

 

[Devadwal]

@TheSultan England are not taking this series seriously, they are preparing for Pakistan tour of England next year.

 

[Independent Observer]

Australian selectors should instantly retire Khawaja now and stick with Head as an opener in all formats.

 

[tiger_khan]

Aussie experts before the series, "Bazball is not cricket"

Now that Head is playing the way the English bat...they can't stop admiring him

Yah, they collectively have poor game IQ/awareness. Honestly, this is an epic choke.

 

[Devadwal]

Not everyone Cup of tea to win at Perth after bundled out less than 200 in first innings.

 

[tiger_khan]

Some patrons were claiming that this pitch is doctored and not fit for batting

Australia might win this match by 8 wickets chasing 200 runs

 

[Devadwal]

There is huge difference here. All England player play same rubbish cricket while head is playing counter attacking inning to Chase the target.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Well played Travis Head. What an innings. I was sure Aus wouldn't win, well I am totally humbled here.

Congrats Aus 1-0...

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Travis Head 100*(69)

Pitch is bad?

 

[BouncerGuy]

Head doing Bazbal.... LOL

 

[BouncerGuy]

Travis Head 100*(69)

Pitch is bad?

It was just poor batting now... Head proving the pitch crtics wrong.

 

[Independent Observer]

Head's going to get the limelight here but dont underestimate Boland's contribution. He single handedly brought them back into the game with 3 strikes.

 

[Devadwal]

Match is finishing inside two days is surely have to do with pitch. I know head playing Blinder knock can't hide this fact.

 

[Devadwal]

@TheSultan where are you hiding now. How is the England preparation going?

 

[Romali_rotti]

Is Hazelwood and Cummins coming back next game ?

 

[Independent Observer]

Is Hazelwood and Cummins coming back next game ?

They were saying Hazlewood next game and Cummins maybe the game after.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Jofra Archer is done, put a fork in that career of his and never bring him anywhere near the test side.... All he can do is bowl 5-7 overs Max at full effort in a game and he is totally cooked after....

 

[Devadwal]

When target is short you can't say they are batting nicely so pitch is good.

During Ahmedabad test against England , on a rank Turner india and England (2) Innings , first three Innings bundled out inside two days and then india chased the target without losing the wicket on a rank Turner . But all the talk about pitch although india defeated England by 10 wickets.

Maybe delusional peoples don't know this fact.

Your silly assumption of the wicket being Poor has shown your low IQ on cricket.

 

[tiger_khan]

After this loss, the former English cricketers are going to eat Stokes alive in their criticism.

When the former players criticized and said that the English team is not preparing properly for the series, Stokes talked back and called the critics "the has been"

 

[Independent Observer]

Even tuk tuk Marnus scoring freely on this pitch.

[TheSultan]

England really lost the plot way too early

 

[RidiculousMan]

Australia need a big over if they want to finish this today

 

[Devadwal]

https://www.cricbuzz.com/live-cricket-scores/32258/ind-vs-eng-3rd-test-england-tour-of-india-2021

This is the 2 day match Where india won the match by 10 wickets but were Only talking about pitch.

Hypocrisy to dekho.

 

[TheSultan]

Your silly assumption of the wicket being Poor has shown your low IQ on cricket.

Use the ignore button bro - I ignored the a long time ago

 

[Romali_rotti]

Umpires can extend the play by another 30 mins that should finish it.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Umpires can extend the play by another 30 mins that should finish it.

They won't if Australia don't get close enough

 

[Devadwal]

Umpires can extend the play by another 30 mins that should finish it.

They will not to save the embarassment from 2 day test cricket. Still 20+ over left

 

[RexRex]

Root and Stokes went missing yet again.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Atkinson will be dropped in the next game for Bashir

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Terrible from england.
Congrats Aussies

 

[Devadwal]

Root and Stokes went missing yet again.

Temu Tendulkar always missing whenever his team needed the most. A Softy statpadder

 

[TheSultan]

Poor captaincy really. He’s vastly underused Carse and Wood. Atkinson’s always been mediocre and archer not at full tilt is useless

 

[Independent Observer]

Lol Head might not let Marnus get his 50 here..

 

[Romali_rotti]

They will not to save the embarassment from 2 day test cricket. Still 20+ over left

Well that's the end for Eng then..

 

[Romali_rotti]

They won't if Australia don't get close enough

This game will finish in the next 2 overs. So no need for the 30 mins extension

 

[RidiculousMan]

I'm surprised no pacer has tried bowling a slower ball given the aggression of Head. That would've deceived Head

 

[TheSultan]

Poor Cook can’t hide his bias. You need to stay composed as a commentator even if you’re team is losing

 

[RidiculousMan]

What channel are you on?

 

[Romali_rotti]

13 more runs to end Engs misery..

 

[TheSultan]

I'm surprised no pacer has tried bowling a slower ball given the aggression of Head. That would've deceived Head

I think they have a few, nothing was working.

Too late now even though he’s out

 

[TheSultan]

What channel are you on?

TNT Sport (UK)

 

[RidiculousMan]

Head striking at 143. BazzBall in shambles

 

[RidiculousMan]

Brydon Carse 2 wickets in 5 overs. Have to wonder why he has bowled the least amount of overs today apart from Wood

 

[TheSultan]

TNT Sport (UK)

Really poor experience. Very bland and boring commentary. I find myself muting and switching on test match special

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Is Travis Head Australia's new opener now lol? Seriously crazy knock

 

[Independent Observer]

Redemption for Marnus. Good on him.

 

[Romali_rotti]

All over, alhamdulillah what a way to end the match: a six of the bowling from Sachin Tendulkars supposed successor.

1-0

 

[Independent Observer]

Bruh, they surely need to dump Khawaja now. Head to open, Webster back in the lower order.

 

[Devadwal]

After both teams' first innings, England were well ahead, at one stage leading 104/1. But, as usual, England's batting performance led to their downfall, ultimately collapsing for 164. Australia were set a target of 205.

205 target was challenging on these conditions but Travis Head single handedly destroyed Bazball and showed them what real Bazball looks like in tough condition, England were were look's helpless Against him.

This is not just a win but Epic thrashing by Australia. Bazball's arrogance is totally destroyed here.

Can they recover from 1st test humiliation defeat to win the Next match or series?

 

[Energy]

Match done in 2 days. Beauty of test cricket.

Mockery.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Australia look a better team with Head up top. His quick runs matter more up top than in lower order. Specially now that Warner has retired.

Pair Head with a stable young opener.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Starc is a machine.

Lol mod merged the threads. Are these thread only applicable for india ?

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Well Played Australia. England have alot of soul searching here. Truly bottled it from a position of strength.

But we can come back. The Batsman have to understand bazball on these large Aussy Grounds wont work.

Any way bring on the second Test.

Ashes cricket can never be upstaged.

 

[Independent Observer]

Pinkball test next up with pink ball GOAT in excellent form

 

[TheSultan]

Great test match whatever the result, but England need to root out chokers

Not a surprise result knowing England team record in australia since 2011.

This is expected result even without Australia missing two key bowler including the captain.

England tullebaaz only can perform on Multan highway where they can tonk 800+ runs

 

[DeadlyVenom]

This is embarrassing for England. Usually they lose 5-0 after this kind of defeat. I expected better, if they can't compete against these Aussies oldies without Cummins and Hazelwood then the rest of the series will be difficult.

Englands last win in Australia 2011

Australia's last win in England 2001

 

[Devadwal]

It's time Aus get rid of Khwaja. Continue Head as opener, gives option to play both Webster and Green, and Neser in place of Lyon( as I'm expecting same pitches for rest of the series)

 

[anikrc1]

Englands last win in Australia 2011

Australia's last win in England 2001

Australia wins tests and draws series regularly in england. England just gets brutalized. A win against an Aussie team in transition doesn't change the fact.

Englands last win in Australia 2011

England last match win in australia 2011.

Australia last match win in England 2023.

SINCE 2011 ,Australia have won 6 test match in England while England haven't won any game in australia. ,

Last Two test series been draws in England

Before that England have won every series at home since 2001

Mighty England hold their own at home.

 

[Ball Blazer]

Would the pitch get a demerit point?

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Pinkball test next up with pink ball GOAT in excellent form

Will be very tough for England

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Would the pitch get a demerit point?

Why should it?

There was no extravagant seam

No real uneven bounce

Just very poor batsmanship

 

[sweep_shot]

Congratulations, Australia.

1-0.

 

[Smbhayi]

So game lasted barely 110 overs.. hmm..

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Congrats @aboveandbeyond on this mighty, mighty performance despite batting first against an attack without Hazlewood and Cummins.
