England’s Brydon Carse reacts to thrilling first day of Ashes”Everyone that’s come to watch today, their time was worth it, 19 wickets, fantastic, it puts us in a strong position going into tomorrow,” said the England quick. “He [Stokes] His character, resilience and his ability to change the game in a single spell is incredible.”Look there’s enough, the speed and bounce, just hitting the wicket as hard I could. A couple of balls I’m delighted by, it’s always good to get one the best players in world [Steve Smith] out.The atmosphere was electric. There were a lot of English fans, too. The energy was amazing. Stokesey was very straightforward, saying that 45 minutes before the tea break, to give everything. The message after the tea break was the same. The pitch was very fast and bouncey, especially when the ball was brand new. It was about hitting the pitch as hard as we could.”(AP)Jack Rathborn21 November 2025 20:30Brydon Carse laudes Ben Stokes’ impact for England“His character and enthusiasm, the way he goes about his business, he’s a great leader. He’s been out here for the last two weeks, as Ducky said, he’s in beast mode, hopefully that pays off for him and us in the series,” Carse remarked on Stokes.“I was nervous, excited, almost going into the unknown, soaking it all up, it’s been a phenomenal day. Stokesy came up with that last night, walking in together, half eight, if half hour later, we’d have got some stick from the Aussie fans. We’ll go back to the hotel, have a quiet night, knock over that last wicket tomorrow.“I haven’t played in a lot of attacks with five seamers, we complement each other well, all different attributes, hopefully that stands us in good stead throughout the series.”England’s Ben Stokes (C) celebrates his five wickets with teammates on day 1 (AFP/Getty)Jack Rathborn21 November 2025 20:18Khawaja’s late arrival branded a ‘joke’ by ex-Australia cricketerFormer Aussie cricketer Tom Moody has hit out at Usman Khawaja for missing the start of the first innings.“Poor management… Beyond a joke… like Mitchell Starc led the attack, we needed Uzzie to lead the batting,” Moody said.Jack Rathborn21 November 2025 20:05The bizarre reason why Usman Khawaja didn’t open the batting for Australia in first Ashes TestUsman Khawaja did not open the batting for Australia in the first Ashes Test in a bizarre error that exposed his teammates to England’s opening…
