The Ashes began with the First game between the two nations at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The match disappointed Test cricket fans who are accustomed to witnessing long and intense contests.
Former Australian batter Justin Langer has accused their Ashes opponents, England, of disrespecting Test cricket. The former Australian head coach said that the early finish to the game was the result of England being dismissed twice in the match.
"For the England cricket team, this is a disaster," he wrote in the West Australian. "Having been in front for a lot of the game, their lack of respect for the conditions, their opponent and the game of five-day cricket has cost them in this instance. Missed opportunities tend to keep you awake at night."
Justin Langer highlighted the adverse effect of an early finish
Though the former batter Justin Langer praised Australia's Travis Head for his fluent and flawless innings and congratulated the Australian team for their victory as well, he seemed like a public figure while addressing public woes.
"Friends of mine are in that category,’ he wrote. ‘We have been talking about day three of the Perth Test for six months. They are shattered," Justin Langer also sympathized with the England fans.
"Their employers at Optus Stadium bear the brunt as much as anyone. They, Cricket Australia and the broadcasters lose millions of dollars. Day three, a Sunday, will cost CA and the stadium around $10 million [about £5 million] in ticket and food and beverage sales. That’s a lot of money that goes back into grassroots cricket."
The England Lions also faced a crushing defeat in Australia
With a target set on 232, Australians hurried past the target within 45 overs, as they almost played it like an ODI game, and Josh Inglis led them to victory with an unbeaten 125 off just 107 balls.
