  • Seven moments that defined the 2023 Ashes

    Jul 31, 2023 | cricket.com.au | Josh Schonafinger

    The first ballEngland had promised to be aggressive and to take the game to Australia under their highly successful 'Bazball' credo. And the first ball of the series was the new regime's mission statement in a nutshell. At 11am in Birmingham on the opening morning of the Test match, Australia captain Pat Cummins began the contest by offering a full ball outside off to England's Zak Crawley.

  • Paris follows Boland from Hurricanes to Stars

    West Australian quick Joel Paris has followed Australian Test star Scott Boland from Hobart to Melbourne in another boost for the Stars pace attack in KFC BBL|13. The dual Marsh Sheffield Shield winner has consistently been one of the country’s best bowlers with the red ball since his debut in 2015 but has struggled to replicate that same potency in the shortest format.

  • Harris ready to make impact if called upon

    Australia's backup opener Marcus Harris is hoping to replicate Mitch Marsh's instant impact if called upon for either of the remaining two Ashes Tests. Marsh was selected for the third Test in Leeds after Cameron Green's minor hamstring complaint, and blasted a run-a-ball 118 on day one before picking up handy wickets throughout the match.

    For better or for worse, Alex Carey's reputation has grown enormously thanks to the 2023 Ashes series. His under-armed stumping of Jonny Bairstow in the second innings at Lord's had the cricket world buzzing about the 'spirit of cricket' while his failure to pay for a haircut in Leeds made it into the UK tabloids – and turned out to be fake news.

  • The stats behind an Ashes short ball obsession

    Jul 13, 2023 | cricket.com.au | Josh Schonafinger

    One of the many unforeseen talking points in the 2023 men's Ashes series has been both sides' eagerness to use the short ball. Lifeless pitches at Edgbaston and Lord's in the first two Tests offered little incentive for fast bowlers to pitch it up. "With a wicket like that, the ball was old (and) soft, you don’t have too many options," Australia captain Pat Cummins said of the Lord's pitch following the second Test.
