Ashes: England beat Australia in first test in Brisbane

England’s hopes went up in smoke against Australia on day four of the first ash test at Gabba.

Malan was the winner of Nathan Lyon’s 400th Test, the outstanding player winning 4-91 as England were knocked out 297.

Australia had just 20 men left to chase, who finished shortly after lunch in the Brisbane sunshine to hand Pat Cummins the victory of his first Test as captain.

The hosts took a 1-0 lead on a five-match streak and continued their 35-year unbeaten streak against England in Brisbane.

England have now lost 10 of their previous 11 Tests in Australia and have won just one of 10 since they beat India in the first Test in February.

With England needing to win the series to get the Ashes back, Root’s side were virtually faultless in the remaining four trials.

The second test in Adelaide, a day and night match played with a pink ball, begins on Thursday.

Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that the Fifth Test, originally scheduled for Perth, will instead held in Hobart, as well as a person day and night.

Their fallen engineer

With their poor record at Gabba and preparations faltering, England need everything to stay on track if they are to leave Brisbane with a result.

Instead, they were as good as beaten when they were beaten with 147 tea points on day one. On top of that, David Warner was dropped and played an empty ball as he made a crucial 94 in Australia’s first half.

The only time England had a better record than Australia was when Root and Malan teamed up for 162 games on Tuesday night.

Questions will be raised about British decisions. They chose to hit the ball in ideal conditions for bowling and omitted speed pitcher Stuart Broad in favor of cameraman Jack Leach, who crashed in 102 runs in 13 rounds.

To be fair, the way the pitch plays out suggests Australia will face some uneven returns and be overturned by Leach if England can score a challenging goal in the fourth half.

In the end, throws and selections count for very little when hitting the ball is down on both innings and opportunities are not taken on the court.

Now, England is under great pressure in Adelaide, with Broad and James Anderson sure to return in an effort to exploit the pink ball. Lose there and the Ashes will almost certainly disappear.

Hope extinguished

The optimism Root and Malan generated on Friday lasted less than four times on Saturday, as the attacking Malan turned the ball into his pad to be caught at a silly spot as Lyon became the 17th man in testing history to hit 400 clearances.

The smash hit for England was the loss of prolific captain Root, who has been drawn into the tutelage of a brilliant player from Cameron Green, securing his wait for a hundredth challenge. in Australia will continue.

From there, England sank against a ruthless Australia in a set of loose shots, poor technique and timid players.

When Ollie Pope confusingly tried to cut his first ball from Lyon and tripped, England lost 3-11, followed by a strange period of about 30 minutes as global TV images from around Gabba is lost.

England had not lost a game in that time, but when they returned, Ben Stokes stood up for the second time to take the lead from Cummins’ bowling ball.

Jos Buttler conceded Josh Hazlewood, both Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood fell trying to attack Lyon and Chris Woakes gave way to Green.

Everything is fine for Australia

Three weeks ago, Australia’s joy of winning the T20 World Cup was shattered when captain Tim Paine stepped down in a texting scandal, with the former captain set to withdraw from the series altogether.

They are leading 1-0 now and are certainly contemplating repeating the hits that have occurred in three of England’s past four tours.

Cummins marked his captaincy bow with seven hits, Travis Head returned his pick with 152 and Paine replacement Alex Carey caught eight times behind the stump, a record for a single Test Launcher.

One concern for Australia will be the fitness of Warner, who was hit in the ribs in the first half and was then unable to play or hit the ball in the second half.

Carey came on for the opener but got past Robinson just before Marcus Harris made the winning teamfights.

He was fined 100% of the match fee and scored WTC

After the match ended, England were awarded 5 points in the World Test Championship and fined 100% of the competition fee for playing too late.

The tourists were deemed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to be five people short of their target rate.

Root’s side also Penalty of two points World Testing Championship because the speed is slower than India at Trent Bridge in summer.

Meanwhile, the ICC fined Australia hitter’s Head 15% of the match fee for “using audible profanity”.

The man of the match made the comment – picked up by a stump mic – after being beaten by a serve from Stokes in Australia’s first half, in which he produced a century.

‘We know where we need to improve’

England captain Joe Root: “It’s disappointing. We’ve worked hard to get back into the game. We’re hoping for an all-out match today.

“Our pick? It’s easy to tell with insight. We wanted a change in our attack, moving through different gears. Our pitchers were very good. excellent, but we have to be better at it. Same goes for the stick.”

“We showed fighting and bravery in the second few rounds and knew where we had to improve.”

Australia captain Pat Cummins: “I’m really proud of everyone. It was a complete performance. The bowlers did their thing on day one, Marnus and Davey with their great partnership, and the way Trav played was just amazing. sign of a positive, brave side.

“I’m really pleased with the way everyone is sticking with it (on Tuesday). We showed up today knowing we were ahead of the game.

“Trav can finish the game within hours. Everything we told Trav was to go out and play your own way. He’s got a bright future ahead of him.”
