[Cricket] First Ashes Test Australia vs England Brisbane 23rd-27th November
- Thread starter jakarta
- Start date
Slow scoring rate means at 163-3 with 20 overs to go under the lights, this can still go either way.
First review log the day... LBW not given... but could be a goner...
Cummins has Root LBW.
163-4
Australia right back in it.

Close of play, Day One ( bad light stopped play)
England 196-4 (80.3 overs)
Malan 28* Ali 13*
A good day of Ashes cricket on a slow wicket. The hundred partnership between Vince 83 and Stoneman 53 was the main event.

Not bad, just need to survive another hairy morning tomorrow against the new ball. Newbies have done well.

If Malan and Ali can see us through to 250 plus it could be quite a decent score for the first innings.
It proves a point as well, losing two main run scorers cheaply, Cook and Root, but still putting in a decent innings.

Decent day. It reminds me of a golfer on the first day of a tournament going in at par because they didn't take risks. You can't win it on day one, but you can lose it.
It's not amazing, but something to build on.

Not getting carried away but England's day I thought. Just 4 wickets in a day is a tad below par but there and again so was the total. Batting first also confers a bit of an advantage. So especially given some of the horror scenarios anticipated in the build-up I think 92.7% of England supporters would settle for this as a first day performance. However, the horror scenarios might have just been deferred for a day or two...................
