Australia vs England - The Ashes 2021/22

[Richie]

England 1 Rory Burns, 2 Haseeb Hameed, 3 Dawid Malan, 4 Joe Root (capt), 5 Ben Stokes, 6 Ollie Pope, 7 Jos Buttler (wk), 8 Chris Woakes, 9 Ollie Robinson, 10 Mark Wood, 11 Jack Leach

Pressure on Burns, Hameed, Pope. All three playing their first Aussie Ashes match. Burns surprises me.

I'm hoping that now that Broad's not playing that England might lose badly.

Wow wow wow...

Said these conditions will suit a specialist swingman like Starc. Makes it even more odd that they did not play their best at the art James Anderson.

Baggers

England said that they are resting the older guys in Broad and Anderson.

Great to get both their openers out cheaply. Sensational catch Alex Carey!

A pearler from Josh Hazlewood and England 2 down.

Sensational catch Alex Carey!

He now has his first Test catch.

Hazle testing both edges of Roots bat.

He has him with a ripper.. did that swing too?

Would love to get Stokes out cheaply too.

Boys need to test Stoke's limited patience.

Starc can not seem to keep on the pressure.

Ciao Stokes! This is unbelievable! England 4/29.

Just as stokes was settling in... Welp his out.

Awesome bowling by the new skipper Pat Cummins

Good to see the back of him too.

Pat's first wicket as skipper. Yeehah.

Points win to the baggy greens in first session.

Some good concentration shown by Hameeb and Pope

 

[Richie]

Jos Buttler is out of his depth against the moving ball but at home when no movement. As Josh has found out last three overs with his miserly economy rate doubling.

There is a band of storm clouds about to descend on Brisbane. Tho looks that the heaviest of them will bypass the Gabba.
