AUS vs ENG Dream11 Match Prediction | The Ashes 2019 | Australia vs England Match Preview
Headingley, Leeds, August 22 at 03:30 PM IST
It was a dramatic end to the second Ashes Test which witnessed a draw after a fairly long time period. Noe the two teams will head to Leeds in Headingley for the third Test of the series.
The first Test at Birmingham in Edgbaston was comfortably won by the visitors by 251 runs, whereas, the second Test in Lord’s resulted in a draw.
The visitors have received a huge blow in the form of Steven Smith who has been ruled out pf the Headingley Test owing to a concussion which he suffered courtesy a lethal bouncer from Jofra Archer in the second test. This is definitely a big blow for the hosts who haven’t shown much resilience in the batting department baring the masterclass of Steven Smith.
For the hosts, things are definitely not falling into place as their batting is looking unstable with the big guns like Joe Root, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow not performing cohesively. They have to come up with a better plan and a different mindset heading into the third Test.

#MYLIFEMYWORLDCRICKET
There is a consensus of expert opinion that cricket may have been invented during Saxon or Norman times by children living in the Weald, an area of dense woodlands and clearings in south-east England. The first reference to cricket being played as an adult sport was in 1611, and in the same year, a dictionary defined cricket as a boys' game. There is also the thought that cricket may have derived from bowls, by the intervention of a batsman trying to stop the ball from reaching its target by hitting it away.Village cricket had developed by the middle of the 17th century and the first English “county teams” were formed in the second half of the century, as “local experts” from village cricket were employed as the earliest professionals. The first known game in which the teams use county names is in 1709. In the first half of the 18th Century cricket established itself as a leading sport in London and the south-eastern counties of England. Its spread was limited by the constraints of travel, but it was slowly gaining popularity in other parts of England and Women’s Cricket dates back to the 1745, when the first known match was played in Surrey.In 1744, the first Laws of Cricket were written and subsequently amended in 1774, when innovations such as lbw, a 3rd stump, - the middle stump and a maximum bat width were added. The codes were drawn up by the “Star and Garter Club” whose members ultimately founded the famous Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's in 1787. MCC immediately became the custodian of the Laws and has made revisions ever since then to the current day.Rolling the ball along the ground was superseded sometime after 1760 when bowlers began to pitch the ball and in response to that innovation the straight bat replaced the old “hockey-stick” style of bat. The Hambledon Club in Hampshire was the focal point of the game for about thirty years until the formation of MCC and the opening of Lord's Cricket Ground in 1787.Cricket was introduced to North America via the English colonies as early as the 17th century, and in the 18th century it arrived in other parts of the globe. It was introduced to the West Indies by colonists and to India by British East India Company mariners. It arrived in Australia almost as soon as colonisation began in 1788 and the sport reached New Zealand and South Africa in the early years of the 19th century. ...........this Words Belongs to THE HOME OF CRICKET I MEAN ICC.
