Hello and a warm welcome to Day 2 of the first Test match between Australia and England here at Gabby. Australia have had a dream start to the series as they bundled out the visitors for a mere 147 runs. The onus is with the Aussies as they will look for a good start to their innings. Overcast conditions and rain might play its role yet again. Let’s hope the weather stays clear.
On Day 2 of the Ashes 2021-22 opener, Australia will look to strengthen their position in the match after bowling out England to just 127. Pat Cummins’ Australia have a great opportunity to put England on the mat after a dominating bowling performance on Day 1 at The Gabby, Brisbane. The pitch and weather are expected to assist the pacers, and the Australian batters need to be cautious in front of a decent pace attack. However, England might miss the services of James Anderson and Stuart Broad on this surface.
Meanwhile, on Day 1, Pat Cummins took five wickets in a scintillating start to his captaincy as Australia routed England for 147.
After England skipper Joe Root won the toss and opted to bat, the Australian pace bowling trio of Cummins, Mitchell St arc, and Josh Hazelwood ran riot to bundle the tourists out in just 50.
Cummins, in his first game as Test captain since taking over from Tim Paine, claimed 5-38, while St arc, took 2-35 and Hazelwood 2-42 as the English batters failed to adapt to the bounce and movement of a Gabby green top.
England made a disastrous start to the series when they lost Rory Burns to the first ball of the match, St arc, bowling the left-hander around his legs.
David Malian, who scored six, and Root, for a duck, quickly followed as a shell-shocked England slumped to 11-3.
“It was a dream start really — it wasn’t a bad toss to lose, and I thought we all bowled really well and did our jobs,' Cummins said.
