Apart from Peter Siddle and Elysse Perry’s achievements, Michael Hussey’s winning shot at Adelaide and Mitchell Starc’s peach of a delivery to dismiss Rory Burns on the first ball of the 2021 Ashes, also found their place in the incredible montage shared by cricket.com. Fans, on the other hand, did not waste much time in reacting to the brilliant post.
One Instagram user felt that Ben Stokes’ Ashes-saving boundary at Headingley will go down as the best moment in the history of the Australia-England Test rivalry.
Another person stated that “Definitely Peter Siddle birthday special" is his favourite.
Voicing a similar opinion, this user commented, “Nothing beats Siddle’s hat trick."
One person cryptically replied by writing, “There is only one correct answer here."
England’s Ben Stokes is now set to lead his side for the first time in the Ashes as the hosts are aiming to reclaim the urn for the very first time since 2015. The first Test is scheduled to start on June 16 at the Edgbaston in Birmingham. The fifth and final encounter will be played at the Kennington Oval in London. The English cricket team were thrashed 4-0 during the last Ashes outing.
Australia, on the other hand, will be up against India in the WTC final ahead of the Ashes. Australia captain Pat Cummins will be eyeing a return during the WTC summit clash. Cummins’ last action was against India during the Border-Gavaskar Test series. Cummins had to return to his hometown midway through the series due to his mother’s illness.
