The Ashes 2021-22 is up and running at the Gabba in Brisbane. Australian team once again asserted their dominance on the English side. After winning the toss, Joe Root opted to bat first, but Mitch Starc had other plans. He bowled Rory Burns on the very first ball of the Ashes around his legs.
England’s biggest hope Joe Root could not even score a run, and Hazelwood got him out at duck. The entire batting order of England collapsed in front of the Aussie quicks. Ben Stokes’s return also could not yield him great results. In the end, the whole English side bundled out for just 147 runs in the first innings. Jos Buttler finished as the highest run-scorer with 39 runs under his belly.
For Australia, all the quicks combined for the ten wickets. Captain Pat Cummins got a five-wicket hall, whereas Starc & Hazlewood got a couple of wickets each. All-rounder Chris Green took his maiden test wicket as well.
