Pat Cummins got off to a best possible start to his Test captaincy career. He grabbed a five-wicket haul on his first day as Test captain of the Australian cricket team on Day 1 of the Ashes series at The Gabba in Brisbane.
England captain Joe Root won the toss and opted to bat first on a track which had lots of green on it. Mitchell Starc got Aussies off to a solid start, cleaning up Rory Burns on just the first ball of the series. Josh Hazlewood picked up 2 wickets before Cummins came back to his best and finished with a fifer.
The pick of the wicket was Joe Root. The England captain is the visitors' best batter and Cummins was quite excited after seeing his back. It was a peach of a delivery as well with the ball, hitting the off stump line and straightening after pitching, Root unable to get right behind it and it went on to hit the top of off stump.
