"Difference For Me Has Been...": Eoin Morgan Praises Australia Star's Batting In Ashes Opener

Former England skipper Eoin Morgan has praised Australian batter Alex Carey who scored a crucial 52 (80)* in the first innings on the second day for the Ashes on Saturday. Usman Khawaja (126*) and Alex Carey's (52*) partnership led the charge with the bat as Australia managed to bounce back in the final session of Day 2 of the first Test match of the Ashes 2023 series on Saturday. Australia trailed by 82 runs, scoring 311/5. "I think it has been Australia's day. I would rather be sat in Australia's changing room right now and the difference for me has been Carey. You always expect an Australian to grind out some runs on this wicket. That impetus late on in the day and leading momentum into when the new ball came in from Khawaja and Carey was outstanding," Morgan told Sky Sports.

Watch: 'King Of Swing' James Anderson Cleans Up Alex Carey With A Beauty In Ashes Opener

A wicketless James Anderson despite bowling 17 overs in a Test innings is a rarity. The rare event however happened during Australia's first innings against England in the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Usman Khawaja and Alex Carey were solid in the crease with the former unbeaten after century and the latter not out post a quickfire fifty. To add to Australia's dominance, Carey hit two consecutive fours to Anderson on the pacer's 18th over. It's needless to mention that something special was needed to bring England back in the game and a vintage Andeson came to the side's rescue.

"I Think He Will Make Some Runs": Ricky Ponting On David Warner

Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting believes that struggling opener David Warner has shown hints of his best form during the ICC World Test Championship final against India and in the first innings of the Ashes Test against England and "he will make some runs", reported ICC on Sunday. The pressure is building on Warner and his place in the Test team is under scrutiny due to his recent form. He fell to Stuart Broad for just nine runs at Edgbaston, making it his 15th dismissal against the veteran English pacer.

"I'm Here To Provide Theatre Of The Game": Ollie Robinson On Aggressive Send-Off To Usman Khawaja

England pacer Ollie Robinson said that he does not care about how his aggressive send-off to Australian batter and centurion Usman Khawaja is perceived by the Australian dressing room, since it is part of the "passion of the Ashes" and he is here to provide the "theatre of the game" to everyone who wants it. England managed to survive Day-3 with a lot of help from the heavens, as persistent rain brought an early halt to play for the day. In Australia's first innings, after Ollie took the big wicket of Usman for 141, he gave a loud and aggressive send-off to the batter while celebrating, which might have involved some abusive words.

England saw the back of Usman Khawaja with an unconventional field set-up on Day 3 of the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Khawaja's painstaking century had effectively turned the first Ashes Test at Edgbaston into a one-innings shoot-out on Sunday before Ollie Robinson cleaned him up with a yorker delivery to bring England back in the game. As many as six fielders were brought really close to the southpaw, hardly leaving any gap for him to score in front of the wicket.
