Scott Boland rips through England lineup as Australia beats England by an innings and 14 runs, secures the Ashes
Scott Boland was named man of the match
The chants of ‘Boooooland Booooland’ resonated through the Melbourne Cricket Ground as local boy Scott Boland prearranged a fantasy debut that will advance into the archives of Test cricket. The Victorian pacer blew England away with shocking figures of 6-7 fueling Australia to an Ashes win in the initial meeting on Day 3 of the Boxing Day Test.
The 32-year-old began the day with two wickets – that arrived in an over late on Day 2 – and regardless of a dropped get, got four in the blink of an eye returning six wickets in 21 balls as Australia skittled England for only 68 in the second innings to get a success by an innings and 14 sudden spikes in demand for Tuesday (December 28).
Britain’s hardships and absence of battle were uncovered by and by a rampaging set of Australian pacers, who were forceful, persevering and did minimal wrong all through the third Ashes Test. From being particularly in the Test to losing by an innings, things spiraled excessively rapidly for England, who could see as no chance back later that little blazing explosion of speed bowling late on Day 2.

Mitchell Starc pushed over Ben Stokes from the get-go Day 3 with a full conveyance as the Australians adhered to their lines and lengths and executed their arrangements to accuracy, adhering to their spaces outside off. Boland struck in his first over of the day to get Jonny Bairstow and went through England’s line-up from there on, who lost 6-37.
Joe Root was the just one remaining in the middle of Australia and a success and when Boland squeezed out an edge off his bat, it was the game for Australia. The England commander fell for 28 – completing as the third-most elevated Test run-getter in 2021 with 1708 runs. It didn’t take excessively long later to push England over as Australia held the Ashes. Boland was expectedly named Man of the Match, winning the Johnny Mullagh Medal.
Brief scores : England 185 & 68 (Mitchell Starc 3-29, Scott Boland 6-7) lost to Australia 267 (David Warner 38, Marcus Harris 76; James Anderson 4-33, Ollie Robinson 2-64, Mark Wood 2-71) by an innings and 14 runs.
