Australia’s legendary cricketer Ricky Ponting is in England for covering the Ashes 2023 test series and regularly gives his opinion on Sky Sports(a British sports channel) and after the end of the Day 1 of the fifth and final test match he and Sky Sports host Ian Ward were discussing some specific points about the Day 1 with Australian off-spinner Todd Murphy and just before ending the discussions when Ricky Ponting was about to end the discussions few fans allegedly England fans threw grapes towards Ricky Ponting and after this classless incident Ponting looked furious and even said that he wants to find out who did that though host Ian Ward tried to laugh it off Ricky didn’t take it easily.
England and Australia are now facing each other in the fifth and final test match of the Ashes 2023 at the Oval. Australia, after winning the toss for the first time in the entire series, decided to bowl first, and Australia displayed a dominating performance during Day 1 of the last test match and bowled out the hosts for just 283 runs. England, after starting well with a 62-run partnership, lost wickets at regular intervals except for Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, and Ben Duckett. The rest of the players didn’t impact the scoreboard that much, though pacers like Mark Wood and England were all out for 283.
Australia started their innings, and at the end of Day 1, Australia were 61/1. Australia must be looking to win the match or either draw it, as in both cases Australia will be the one taking the Ashes urn home as they are leading the Ashes 2-1, while England will try to win the match to at least stop Australia from claiming the series again.
