The Australian bowlers bowled their hearts out to bundle the English innings under 150. It took them just two sessions to do so. Hence, aiming a humorous jab at poor English batting performance, the Queensland Police posted a social media post on Twitter that read: “launching an investigation into a group impersonating a Test Batting order at the Gabba.”

This came after the English batters were simply not able to cope with the stunning bowling display by Australia. They lost their opener, Rory Burns, on the first ball of the series, and what followed next was not pleasant either. Mitchell Starc opened wounds in English batting later Hazlewood and Cummins rub salt to those wounds. Following which England was all out for 147 by tea.

Rain spoiled the third session of the game. The crowd and spectators around the globe, however, enjoyed the first two sessions of the game. Hopefully, the sun will shine tomorrow, and everyone will get to enjoy four days of fantastic competition.

]]> Ashes: Mitchell Starc picks wicket on first ball of the opening test; becomes only second bowler to do so https://dailyindianews.com/ashes-mitchell-starc-picks-wicket-on-first-ball-of-the-opening-test-becomes-only-second-bowler-to-do-so/2021/3666/ Wed, 08 Dec 2021 02:51:27 +0000 https://dailyindianews.com/ashes-mitchell-starc-picks-wicket-on-first-ball-of-the-opening-test-becomes-only-second-bowler-to-do-so One of the biggest sporting events of the year got off with a bang. In the first test of the Ashes Series 2021/22, Mitchell Starc picked a wicket on the first ball of the match to get the proceedings underway. It was a perfect inswinging delivery aimed at the middle and leg. With his awkward stance, Rory Burns found himself falling over to his off-stump and ended up playing all around a pretty straight ball.

Starc became the only second bowler in history to achieve this comprehensive feat. The last bowler to claim it was Ernie McCormick of Australia in the year 1936. Although it was not only a record against Starc’s name. As Rory Burns now has the highest number of ducks (6) against his name in a calendar year.

This wicket was just the start of the horrible session about to unfold for England at Gabba. Soon after the dismissal of Burns, Hazlewood picked up two wickets to remove Dawid Malan and Joe Root for the score of six and naught, respectively. The final nail in the coffin for the session was hammered by Pat Cummins in the 13th over. He dismissed Ben Stokes to claim his first scalp as Australia’s Test captain.

Opener Haseeb Hameed and middle-order batter Ollie Pope put up a fight to end the first session at 59 for 4 for England.
