Vaughan Loses Cool at Bazball After Starc Wreaks Havoc at Perth: ‘You’ve Got to Question Bazball’

Mitchell Starc took 7 wickets for 58 runs, dismantling England's batting to 172 all out on Day 1 of the Ashes in Perth, despite missing fellow pacers Cummins and Hazlewood.

  • On Friday in Perth, Mitchell Starc took a career-best 7/58, dismantling England Test team’s top order as they were bowled out for just 172, erasing pre-match Ashes hype.
  • In a blistering opening burst, Starc took his first three wickets inside six overs, with every delivery over 140kmh, and reached 100 Ashes wickets by dismissing Joe Root.
  • When Usman Khawaja went off the field, England lost three wickets in 17 minutes, while debutant Jake Weatherald was dismissed LBW after two balls and Harry Brook walked after gloving to Alex Carey.
  • Former England captain Michael Vaughan criticised Bazball on Fox Cricket, saying tailenders should have preserved Jamie Smith's strike, while Phil Tufnell said on ABC Sport, `It feels a bit soft from England, to be honest.`
  • With Cummins and Hazlewood absent, Starc carried the Australia Test team attack and took the final two wickets in five balls, shaping early Ashes series momentum.
