Adam Peacock: Australian Correspondent on day 1 of the Ashes
Update: 2025-11-22
Description
The Ashes have gotten underway in an explosive fashion.
The opening day saw England bundled out for 172 with Aussie paceman Mitchell Starc notching 7 for 58, the tourists responding by keeping the hosts at 123 for 9 at stumps, as captain Ben Stokes took 5 for 23.
England is heading into day two with the upper hand, and intend to keep the pressure on Australia.
Australian Correspondent Adam Peacock told Piney there was some fairly average shot selection from the batters on both teams.
He says that the greatest thing you can have in test cricket is patience, and the batters who are used to playing T20 just can’t help but try hit every ball.
