US EditionAshes Fans' View: 'Australia Learned From mistakes... England Didn't'
Travis Head scored a 69-ball century and Mitchell Starc took 10 wickets in a dominant bowling display as Australia won by eight wickets.
- On November 22, 2025, Australia national cricket team beat England national cricket team by eight wickets inside two days at Perth Stadium, finishing 205-2 with Ben Stokes shaking hands with Steve Smith, stand-in captain.
- After a strong start at 172, England national cricket team's middle-order unravelled under Scott Boland, Australian seamer's four for 33, losing nine for 99 and all 20 wickets in 67.5 overs.
- Travis Head erupted with a match-defining century and boundary barrage, striking 16 boundaries and four sixes in a brutal 123 before departing with Australia just 13 runs from victory.
- Mitchell Starc's 10-wicket match haul underlined Australia's bowling depth, stepping up in the absence of Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood while Usman Khawaja's back spasms left him doubtful for the second Test starting Dec. 4 in Brisbane.
- The loss, the fastest since 1921, immediately raises selection debates as Michael Vaughan urged England to rethink their `Bazball` approach, leaving work for Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.
