Brisbane (Australia): England remaining to regret their decision to choose Spinner Jack Leach ahead of Seamer Stuart extensive as Australia tightened their grip at the opening of the Ashes test on Thursday.
The host had taken hands up after Routing Britain for 147 and they dominated the second day, which they finished at 343-7 to develop first-innings lead from 196 in Gabba.
Spinner Leach’s left arm could not justify the selection and gave up 95 running at 11 overs to goalkeeper from Marnus Labuschagne before being taken off attack.
The decision for a wide veteran decline to accommodate Leach has surprised a lot but Bowling coach Jon Lewis won’t say they got them the wrong combination of bowling.
“We felt it was the right decision at that time,” he said.
“If we are fascinated for the best of our abilities, we will have put Australia under a little pressure more than them today.” “We definitely not lose yet.
Hope Jack to come back tomorrow is strong and show the character I know he has.” The English front line seamers, especially Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood, are fascinated with lots of hearts but all of the Serba Ben Stokes is lowered only nine overs have knee pain.
Play his first competitive match since July, Stokes struggled for rhythm and more-move more than a dozen times even though it was not detected by the referee’s field.
Lewis can’t confirm if Stokes will be a full allocation bowl of overs in the rest of the match.
“Obviously Ben has hurt himself on the field now so it doesn’t bowl full speed behind the end of the day,” Lewis said.
“We will judge him last night and see how he is interesting in the morning.” Australia scored over four-more and even when British Seamers created opportunities, they were carelessly disappointing them.
David Warner, who scored 94, was the recipient on three occasions.
Warner was 17 when Stokes was fascinated by him with what turned out to be no ball.
Robinson created another opportunity when Warner at 60 but Rory was burned out of the ball.
Batsman could also run out but a throw rushed Haseeb Hameed from a short leg width deviated.
“There was a period when Australia got above us and we were frustrated to miss several opportunities,” Lewis said.
