Strange and ultimately unsuccessful decision to move bowlers Brendan Cass The order up to the third position has been interpreted as England team leader Ben Stokes.
England chased 175 points and finally won the championship ashes test, enable The minefield of the stadiumthere was confusion surrounding the MCG when Ben Duckett, who left England 51-1 after a mammoth knock of 34, walked out with Carse (the usual No. 10) instead of the designated No. 3 Jacob Bethel.
England’s choice to bring out a clown from their ranks undoubtedly baffled the stadium announcer, who initially called out Harry Brooke’s name before correcting himself and Carles repeating it The so-called “Nighthawk” character Once embodied by Stuart Broad.
Perhaps predictably, this strategy failed Australia They knew the 30-year-old would charge for the fences and wait for a turnover.
Kars eventually lasted eight balls for six runs before he bowled Cameron Green off the bowling of Jhye Richardson, belatedly taking Bethell – who was trying to make a tackle from the decisive first ball of the evening session – to the crease where he chipped in a very useful 40-run assist. Led England to four-pillar victorytheir first Ashes Test title in Australia in 15 years.
With no real damage done, skipper Stokes was happy to explain the thinking behind his bold Carles strategy after the Test.
“Well, look, it’s one of those things you see, all the top-order batsmen are struggling to find ways to score runs and the lower-scoring batsmen are saying that,” said Stokes, who at the time had witnessed 31 wickets fall in five Test matches.
“Brooke’s performance in the first inning [making 41 off 34 balls]looked very proactive, trying to knock the bowlers down and put them under pressure. We thought it was something we were willing to risk.
“If it does work out and it gets 30-40 quick, that’s huge on a small run chase like this. It doesn’t work out that way, but there’s a way to deal with the chaos.
“I wouldn’t say it was fun. Unfortunately it was a tactical plan that didn’t pay off for us.”
Kars found his much-awaited rhythm in Australia, taking the crucial wicket of Travis Head with figures of 4-34 and opening the innings with a clean bowling of 46 before removing Alex Carey, Michael Nether and Mitchell Starc.
The seamer was delighted to get a long-awaited victory in Australia after what has been a very difficult tour for himself and the entire England squad.
“We’re all united on this tour,” Cass told TNT Sports. “It’s great to be able to give something back to the fans with a positive result.
“That [batting at number three] Our decision was made at the beginning of the game. Buzz [coach Brendon McCullum] Came over and said, “Do you like it?” I said, “Why not?”
“We knew there was 10mm of grass on the wicket. I didn’t think it would play such a big role. Credit to the guys in the second innings, it paid off today.
“We need a team like this. We go to Sydney with a lot of confidence. It would be great if we can get another win there.”
