England batters were blown away by Pat Cummins & co. Advantage Australia going into day2 @TheGabba.
A five-wicket haul for Pat Cummins! The Skipper leading from the front. The English batters couldn't handle the might of the Aussie pace attack as they succumbed to 147. Now... That is Stumps on Day 1. Rain plays spoilsport in today's game, with the final session entirely washed out. England batters were blown away by Pat Cummins and co. Advantage Australia going into day two at The Gabba. Glenn McGrath, speaking to BT Sport “They originally said it was going to rain all day tomorrow but that has changed! I think it will be similar today with afternoon showers. The pitch itself hasn’t had the sun on it so the pitch isn’t going to be too dissimilar to today. It’s up to the England bowlers to get the ball in the right area and really build pressure that way. It’s not a wicket you are going to blast teams out on and if you go searching for wickets, you can start leaking runs.” England batter Ollie Pope, speaking to BT Sport “We didn’t get the score we wanted today. Personally I felt nice out there but it was frustrating not to kick on and get that big score. The game, at that stage, lent itself to some positive batting and Jos [Buttler] came in and took the pressure off nicely. It was frustrating neither of us were able to kick on and get that bigger score to push the team score forward. The pitch was quite tennis-bally, there was some steep bounce and some nip as well, so I realised I could leave a lot of balls. That was important for us and I think we will learn from our mistakes.” “Both teams have to bat before we can work out what is a good score on this wicket. They caught very well, took some great catches, so it is important for us to squeeze as much as we can, take our chances and give them no freebies. We are frustrated we didn’t get the score we wanted but we have to realise this is a long series. We are not going to get to too down and will come back hard tomorrow.” Sir Alastair Cook, speaking to BT Sport "Anytime you get bowled out for 140-odd on day one of any series, let alone the Ashes, is not ideal. I don’t want to use too many cliches but let’s wait a little bit and see what the England bowlers can do. I don’t think it is a traditional Gabba wicket – I don’t think it’s 400 plays 500. There was a lot in that wicket this morning and the moisture around today should still be there tomorrow."

Australia lead by 282 after another chastening day for England, It's a bit of a familiar story
By Prathmesh, Australia retain control in Adelaide It has been another disappointing day for England, who are facing a huge, huge task if they're to avoid going 2-0 down in the five-match series. Australia will go into the final two days 282 runs ahead and with nine wickets still remaining, with England needing plenty of rain and a whole lot of good fortune if they're going to salvage any kind of result. Can England save the Test? Sir Alastair Cook has been speaking to BT Sport to try and offer a more positive outlook… “The draw wouldn’t have been an option had they enforced the follow-on. England now, in the morning, have got a game plan. They’ve got 180 overs to make every run Australia score as hard as they can, with their tactic probably to try and delay Australia from making that declaration. “Steve Smith will have a bit of a number to get to, then England will need ‘over my dead body’ batting to come.” What went wrong for England? Dawid Malan, top-scorer for England with 80 from 157 deliveries and part of that big third-wicket partnership with Joe Root, believes losing quick wickets is an area for improvement. "I think it's a little bit of a trend and something we did on the last tour as well and here in the last Test" Malan told BT Sport. "We get a little bit of momentum and a little bit of a partnership going, then as soon as the Aussies take one wicket we sort of lose two or three in clusters. "We can go from 150 for two or three to suddenly 180 for five or six and we're chasing it again, with them all over our tail. We need to get better at, after losing one wicket, making sure we get a partnership going again as quickly as possible." Dawid Malan, speaking to BT Sport... “After we lost those last two wickets last night we wanted to get a partnership going, which myself and Rooty got. We got ourselves in a half-decent position there, then once again as soon as the Aussies opened that door, they just jumped straight through it. “It’s frustrating and disappointing that we got ourselves back into that fight and then lost too many wickets in clusters there." Sir Alastair Cook, speaking to BT Sport... “That first session was probably the best batting I’ve seen from this England side in a long time, they put the pressure back on Australia with low-risk batting and scored at 3.8 runs an over. “We talk about Australia missing the experience of Cummins and Hazlewood and this was the big chance to get back into the series and bat big. “Root and Malan were excellent and then as soon as the talisman went, early after lunch, then 4-19 is something you just cannot afford to do on flat wickets time and time again. The game of cricket is suddenly, in 45 minutes, almost out of reach.” Sir Alastair Cook, speaking to BT Sport... "It's a bit of a familiar story. One partnership gives you a bit of hope, then wickets in clusters change the dynamic of the game." Australia fast bowler Mitchell Starc: "I’ve always thought the pink ball behaves more like a white ball than a red – I’m not sure that means anything with my bowling. I’ve just had a knack of taking wickets with it, I’ve not changed my gameplan, my role is still the same, though it’s been a bit different this week with no Pat and Josh. "Nathan Lyon was fantastic, he’s been world class for a long time. He was fantastic, especially in that second session. For us quicks to bowl in partnership with him and knowing he was going to do a fantastic job was key in how well we went in that second session. Nath is a big part of our bowling attack and we saw even with Joe in the first innings and again tonight there’s a bit of purchase there for the spinner and Nathan took full advantage of that." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me⬇️ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/peter1105_/?r=nametag On Twitter https://twitter.com/pk1105_?s=09 On Facebook https://www.facebook.com/prathmesh.khandagale.902 On Web https://cricpdk.blogspot.com/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Stokes was in a pretty hopeless position. He battled hard early in his innings, and Chris Woakes offered him some solid support. But once Woakes departed, he had to try and free his arms and make something happen. His 34 was entertaining, but there wasn't much else he could do other than swing hard. Video content Australia spinner Nathan Lyon to ABC: "It was an outstanding day. We're pretty happy. "England played me pretty well in the first session, but we went back to basics. "There were two world-class players which batted well, which they are allowed to do. We were leaking both ends, but as soon as we controlled one end, you create opportunities. "We're not rocket scientists, but if we do the basics, we'll create opportunities."
Perth Scorchers at the top of the table, riding the T20 WC winning form of Mitch Marsh BBL11 Short
Perth Scorchers at the top of the table, riding the T20 WC winning form of Mitch Marsh A fitting end to the match as Marsh takes the catch. Hobart Hurricanes bowled out for 129. Mitchell Marsh has been adjudged as the Player of the Match for his destroying innings Mitch Marsh was the star in Hobart tonight with a stunning century as the undefeated Scorchers move to the top of the #BBL11 table It's a massive, NRR-boosting win for the Perth Scorchers, crushing the Hurricanes on their home ground to propel themselves to the top of the table with three wins out of three. There was a terrific display of hitting from Marsh in the first innings, aided by Laurie Evans. In the chase, there was a serious dearth of partnerships, and scores other than McDermott, and Tymal Mills was the standout bowler with his variations, picking up regular wickets. Tye, Agar and co. were equally supportive, and didn't get things get out of hand, bowling miserly overs with precision and reaping their rewards in the form of wickets too. This really was a no-contest. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow me⬇️ On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/peter1105_/?r=nametag On Twitter https://twitter.com/pk1105_?s=09 On Facebook https://www.facebook.com/prathmesh.khandagale.902 On Web https://cricpdk.blogspot.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Melbourne Renegades has been bowled out for 100. Adelaide Strikers won by 49 runs. #BBL11 #Short
Melbourne Renegades has been bowled out for 100. Adelaide Strikers won by 49 runs. Wes Agar picked up three wickets, whereas Rashid Khan and Daniel Worrall snared a couple of wickets each. Melbourne Renegades - 1 | Adelaide Strikers - 1. And the revenge is complete! Strikes have bounced back in an emphatic way to level things against the Renegades after that loss on Tuesday. Electing to bat first, it was a good effort by the Adelaide top order who added 50 runs in the first 4-odd overs, and that perhaps laid the foundation. Although there weren't many big partnerships following that, Strikers somehow managed to post 149, which eventually proved to be enough. For the Renegades, barring Sam Harper at the top, there were hardly any contributions. Rashid Khan and Wes Agar bowled impressive spells and as a result of this dominant performance, Strikers won by a comparatively big margin.

Perth Scorchers have won by 6 runs Brisbane Heat almost scripted last wicket heist but wasn't to be
A nail-biting game comes to an end. Perth Scorchers win by six runs. A magnificent effort from both teams but Scorchers had the last laugh in the end. Matthew Kelly is adjudged as the Player of the Match for his fine spell. Perth have won by 6 runs! Brisbane almost scripted a last wicket heist but wasn't to be. Brisbane started off poorly and their main man - Chris Lynn - never got going. They really handicapped them and the wickets at regular intervals never helped them. Perth fielded well and bowled to their plans as well barring the last few overs to close out the game. Kelly and Tye's important strikes during the innings proved a little too much to overcome for the Brisbane unit.
