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.
No player’s fortunes mirrored their team’s more than Ollie Robinson, cock-a-hoop in the afternoon after nicking off Smith but reduced to underarm throws by night due to a stiff back. He threw England’s bowlers off their line with his dashing strokeplay. Even good balls found their way to the boundary while bad ones were clobbered. His boldness spread the field so that any nicks flew through a vacated cordon.Head reached his ton off 112 balls then departed immediately after, anti-climactically and in soft fashion to a leading edge against the underwhelming Chris Woakes, much to the disappointment of the Blundstone Arena crowd who rode every boundary in his electrifying knock.
Only Gilchrist has scored more than 250 runs in an Ashes series at a faster rate than Head, whose primary discipline is with the bat unlike the wicket-keeping great. As sheepish as Labuschagne must have felt leaving the arena, he could at least draw solace that he had helped avert disaster for Australia, whose last Test at the venue in 2016 produced a first innings of 85.
