England vs Australia , 1st Test Gabba - Ashes 2021

[vvvslaxman]

Need a separate thread for this match. 

 

Cameron Green just picked up his first Test wicket.

[vvvslaxman]

By the way the catch was breath taking.

Lot of bounce and carry. Love Gabba wicket

They have been collapsing against all sides since they did against Ireland.

[vvvslaxman]

I cannot believe how they still back Rory Burns lol

[vvvslaxman]

Captain Cummins in charge. Picks up his third wicket. Eight down.

[vvvslaxman]

The reason England collapses frequently even in their own conditions is due to poor openers. Openers are the ones that decide how the overseas series in these parts go.

46 ducks for England in 2021. Amazing stat.

140-8 .. the great Joe Root falls for anda. 

Minnows.. 

[vvvslaxman]

Australia is letting the tail add useful runs. 

[vvvslaxman]

Rooting for Cummins to pick the fifer in his first Test as captain. 1 wicket left. 1 wicket to pick up a fifer

[vvvslaxman]

I would give anything to have a fielder like Hazlewood on the boundary. Another great catch.  Cummins fifer in the first innings as captain. What a dream debut.

[vvvslaxman]

Anil Kumble/Walsh were the two captains that previously achieved this feat of picking a fifer on debut as captain.

Once again, we have to take a moment, tip our hats and bow down to Pant, Gill, Siraj, Sundar and Thakur for doing what they did 10 months back... 

 

Absolute superhuman effort.

This pitch is much more bouncy and pacier though.

The Aussie team wouldn't dare give us super bouncy pitches. That will make bumrah shami siraj even more dangerous and potent. Their batsmen can't handle the heat. That's why they prepare flats. They weren't confident of beating us in the last test. That's why they prepared a better and still lost.

Thakur/Sundar partnership was surprising for us. I mean even on a flat pitch task is daunting to ward off quality seamers and score runs. Any misstep there we would have seen more sub 100 all outs.

Loool. Bro 3rd test. They only needed one wicket of pant or ashwin; we would have got screwed in 2 overs. Although they ere extremely tired so thats obviously a factor too at that point.
