FMD, 150 km/h rocks and he's putting them in the Western Tce for horns. That's a fair innings.
I like Johnny B as a batter but crikey, he couldn't catch a cold after three days hiking in his birthday suit on the Yorkshire Moors in the middle of winter....
It's most likely (not guaranteed) that we are going to retain the ASHES. if we do its going to be at the right time Australian players stood up, and won the key moments:
Khawaja in the first test
Cummins in the first test when were 8 down
Head at Lords
Smith at Lords
Carey with his Catches
Now Marsh at Leeds
I to am a Johnny Bearstow fan, but as we have both agreed Ben Foakes, must surely be the keeper
Is Johnny Bearstow related to Glenelgs Darcy Bailey ?
As for Mitchell Marsh, incredible innings, as alluded by AmBays
He now joins 3 of my favourite cricketers in the fastest 100s in a Test Match in England by an Australian
92 balls Victor Trumper, a man who owned a sports store and gave away lotsa profits to kids[1902]
102 balls Mitchell Marsh [2023]
105 balls Clem Hill , who has played football for South Adelaide and was a handicapper at the races [1902]
106 balls Travis Head, which was against India in the World Championship
2 South Australians in those 4 achievements
