The English captain won the toss and chose to bat first. The first match of Ashes started with Andrew Strauss as the opener in the ground. The Ashes series was highly challenging and the most expected series for the English as they hadn’t won any Ashes series in the Australian soil since 1986.
Andrew Strauss faced the first two balls of Ben Hilfenhaus efficiently. But at a wonder the first English wicket slashed off as Strauss let the ball simply reach the hands of Mike Hussey who was in the Gully today putting every English supporter in a great disappointment.
Gabba was shocked and stunned for a moment as the major wicket of England, Andrew Strauss, simply fell off. The Aussies were much more energized to see the big head walking off the ground so early unexpectedly. It didn’t take such long for the second wicket to fall off and the English batsmen in the line up had to struggle off for a bit longer time to retrieve the English strength in the ground
