If the first Test match of the Ashes series is a prelude for what’s to come, we are guaranteed an abundance of high tension and excitement.
This was cricket at its scintillating best; teasing, taunting, displaying itself to be a sport like no other, pulsating, dramatic, immensely skilful, definitely ‘testing’.
