Head’s ton dampens English hopes on frenetic first day in Hobart

Travis Head signed off on his coming of age series with a counter punching century reminiscent of Adam Gilchrist, as Australia fought fire with fire to halt England’s belated charge in the fifth Test.

Given how much Marnus Labuschagne and Smith struggled against the new pink ball, it does not bode well for Ashes bunnies Rory Burns and Ollie Pope, recalled out of necessity more than merit. His 152 in Brisbane rammed home Australia’s advantage. This century, his fourth at Test level, was better as it changed the course of the game. A line-ball selection at the start of the series, Head is now a lock at No.5, as reflected by his automatic recall after COVID-19.

Few could have predicted at the start of the series Head would sit atop the series runs charts midway through the first innings of the final Test, and without playing every game. Broad, so impressive with the new ball, produced one of the plays of the day, seizing on Labuschagne’s movement across the crease to go and full and straight at his middle stump, sweeping the batter off his feet in the process.
