elsewhere Bangaldesh played a test match like a T20 match in the first innings against Pakistan & defended stating - there was nothing wrong with their approach but their execution of the shots was wrong, as apparently the pitch was difficult to bat on but in the follow-on, it looks like pitch has changed overnight & are putting up better performance than first innings. We have heard about pitch deteriorating on the last day of the match, now we get to hear about pitch improving on the last day as well. Now, I have seen & heard everything in cricket, thank you BD 😆.

Pat Cummins Vs Joe Root.

England have won only one match in the last 10 tests matches they played in Australia.

It will be interesting to see how Pat Cummins performs in his new role.

May the best team win.

Unfortunately, showers and a possible thunderstorms are forecast for the first two days of the 1st match.

Cheers..

Root is a great batsman, horrible captain period 😆 It will be interesting to see how Pat Cummins would come across.

Usually I am pro-Australia in Ashes for some unknown reasons, may be because of Don Bradman or is it because of Mark Waugh, its hard to decipher 😆

For kids who are unaware of Mark Waugh... he was considered the top batter in mid-late 90's, Sachin, Mark Waugh & Brian Lara, next era it was Sachin, Ponting & Lara.
