Balance has been lost between making home advantage count and providing good pitches for five-day format

What did we just watch? @timwig gives the English view on Travis Head’s carnage, England’s meltdown, and a First Test that felt like it was played on fast-forward. Absolute chaos. #ashes #cricket #podcast 🎧 Episode out now Spotify: https://t.co/Qt3sgBcYME Apple:

After 32.5 overs, England were 172 all out; Australia reached 96-6. Two very different batting philosophies; neither has worked so far in Perth

England have now been bowled out for below 200 in 15 of their 30 Test innings in Australia since 2013

Mitchell Starc is curiously under-rated as a Test quick - perhaps because he's so supreme with the white-ball. Has kept evolving, especially with the wobble seam. The most durable of the pace big three, he's now the 17th top Test wicket-taker ever and has over 100 Ashes wickets.
