England just lost their last chance to take over
the ashes series. They got dominated by Australians in the 3rd
consecutive test and missed the opportunity to get the ashes trophy back to
their country.
England captain joe root is very disappointed with
how things have gone for England. After the loss in the 3rd test, we
saw a glimpse of tears in Ben stokes’s eyes; it was disheartening to all the England
cricket fans worldwide.
A total of 5 test match have been fixed to play
between the two nations, Australia and England; the Aussies won the first two
tests and got the series lead.
Therefore, we just witnessed Australia crush the
english in the 3rd test with three consecutive wins and won the
series by (3-0) “England players were not in their best ability.”
Boland was the pick of the bowlers from the Australia
side. He was debuting as a test bowler in the 3rd test; hence the
brilliant right arm medium pacer got 1 wicket in the first innings for 48 and 6
wickets in the second innings to get his team to win the ashes trophy back to
their country.

Day 3 match analysis – Australia
vs. England
·
Day 3 started with England players joe root
and ben stokes walking to the crease to put some runs on the board and get a
fighting total for Australia to chase down. “England 31/4 in the start of day
3”
·
Starc comes up with the first over of 3rd
day; he bowls some good pitch-up deliveries and stuns joe root. “also, the two
englishmen players were slowly scoring runs by picking up quick singles and
boundaries.”
·
The first boundary of the 3rd day
came in starc overs; he pitches the ball up, root reads it, and drives down to
off-side to score a valuable pressure releasing boundary.
·
Ben stokes continues showing his class and
efficiency with the bat on the other side of the pitch. He was playing with
good defensive technique and was beautifully scoring in all areas, “starc comes
in, bowls a straight pacer delivery, stokes just guides the ball with a
straight drive into the boundary for fours” “what a beautiful looking shot it
was from stokes.”
·
Again,
starc comes in the next over; stokes smashes him into the mid-off region
to get valuable runs and boundaries. Hence starc was too efficient with his two
coming balls; he stuns stokes with the first ball, reverses the second ball
into ben stokes, and knocks him over. “first wicket down in the 3rd
day” “England winning hopes starts to fade, they are now 46/4”
·
Bairstow tries to form a partnership with the
England captain joe root. Australian bowlers continue to bowl in the perfect
line and length, stunning the England batters.
·
Root takes charge of starc and hits him for a
classic straight drive for a boundary. “what a beautiful shot; just used the
pace of the bowler and pushed it for a boundary.”
·
Bairstow and root tried to hold their
patience and get some singles to keep the scoreboard ticking, but the collapse
was very near.
·
The debutant boland comes with his second
over and gets England experienced batter johnny bairstow, who was trying to
settle down in the crease. “boland bowls an inswinger, swinging it into
bairstow and gets him out lbw “sixth wicket down for England.’
·
The wickets started to fall in, and collapse
happened; joe root was looking so good with the bat, was out. “boland gets him
with an outswinger, root niks it straight back to the first slip, david warner”
“Australia ready to get another win.”
·
Wood comes and goes; it’s boland again,
caught and bowled this time to woods. “England 65 for 7.”
·
At last, boland gets robinson with an outside
edge into the slip and knocks England’s jimmy anderson to get his six wicket
haul and convincing ashes series win for the aussies.
Australia defeated the Englands
with an innings and 17 runs.
Overall
Australia captain pat cummin is very happy and
grateful to win his first ashes series, representing his side as Australian
captain.
England’s dreams of taking back the ashes trophy,
which they lost in 2017/18, had just shattered and broken. Two matches are
still left to play, and Australia must be looking to get two back-to-back wins
and white-wash the Englands in their home ground.
The fourth ashes test will be held between Australia
and England on january 5, 2022.
The two coming matches would be the play of respect
for the Englands. They must at least win in the two coming matches to keep the
respect and positives alive.
