Ashes 2013-14 Test 1 Day 2

                             Australia 295 runs(all out) - 1st innings
                    England 136 runs(all out) - 1st innings
              Australia 65 runs/0 wickets(lead by 224 runs)

 

  Australia are determined on their hunt to regain their Ashes Trophy as they demolish the English site with the bats and bowls. Brad Haddin left the crease after scoring a breezy 94 runs. Haddin and Johnson took Australia to a reasonable total of 295 runs which was actually something to defend. England had a good trail to beat on a pitch which looked reasonably good for the seamers as Broad had already taken away 6 wickets.

  England struggled right from the start as they lost an early wicket of the skipper Alastair Cook who scored an individual 13 runs only. Michael Carberry continued to score but could only reach upto 40 runs. There scrambled the English site. No one else could continue. All courtesy to a brute of a bowling from Mitchell Johnson as he perished 4 of the English Batsmen including Carberry, Trott, Root and Greame Swann. Ryan Harris gave a full support from the other end as he took away 3 major wickets including the Skipper Alastair Cook, Kevin Pietersen & Chris Tremlett. This restricted the Gentlemen to 136 runs only giving the Kangaroos 149 runs.

 Australia started with Chris Rogers and David Warner unlikely the 1st innings, the two Left-handers still stand on the crease with 15 and 45 runs respectively. Australia hold a 224 runs lead and look in an extremely comfortable condition with a 3 day game still to come. The game looks in the favor of the Kangaroos as they hold an immense lead. Still a 3 day game is to come and everybody knows that how quickly the game can turn on its head. So wait and watch as an immense Ashes action stand right in front.....
