England v Australia, 5th Test, Day 2 - A nightmarish day for England


The tracks were helpful for pace bowling in Trent Bridge and Edgbaston, but the Australian pacers could not create the kind of havoc either like Lord’s or Oval. The track at Lord’s was flat while the grassier tinge of the Oval track totally vanished as the day progressed. What makes the Australian pacers click well on flat tracks and not the bowling friendly ones remains a moot question. Bangladesh should keep this in their mind as our tracks will be placid as well.

Australia played the way which their fans are habituated to watch – ruthless display of cricket. Peter Siddle and Mitchell Marsh bowled with spartan line-and-length, which proved too good for the English batters as they lost seven wickets in the final session. England’s day was nightmarish as Australia  walked back to the dressing room with smiles on their faces.
