Here we are going to tell you who are the top-5 fastest bowling bowlers in the world?

The Ashes 2026: The Ashes series started with a bang, but for England this beginning was no less than a nightmare. On the very first day of the first Test being played in Perth, Australia’s fast bowler Mitchell Starc worked such magic that the entire England team got bundled out for just 172 runs. Starc not only took 7 wickets, but also completed his 100 wickets in the Ashes.

England’s condition is bad from the first over

After winning the toss, England captain Ben Stokes chose to bat, but the decision backfired. England’s wicket fell in the very first over and after that the English batsmen were seen struggling to stay on the crease.

The England team brought an aggressive style of baseball, but this strategy flopped miserably on Australia’s bouncy pitch. The ball was swinging. The bowlers were also getting a lot of bounce on the pitch. Even after this, in front of Starc’s speed, England’s batsmen continued making mistakes.

England’s condition worsens despite Brook’s fifty

Only Harry Brook was successful in scoring runs for England. He scored 52 runs and tried to take the team towards a respectable score, but he did not get any support from the other end. Jamie Smith and Brooke tried to score runs aggressively, but were out early due to careless shots. Only four batsmen in the entire English team could touch double figures.

Stark’s havoc, best spell of his career

Mitchell Starc destroyed England’s batting lineup in the Perth Test. His speed and swing overpowered the English batsmen. His performance was special because the team’s two big bowlers, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, were not playing in this match. Apart from Starc, debutant Brendan Doggett took 2 wickets and Cameron Green also took 1 wicket.

England collapsed

The most surprising thing in this match was that the entire England team could play only 32.5 overs. There was a lot of discussion about baseball as to how this strategy would work in Australia, but the answer was found on the very first day. This strategy proved to be a complete flop.
