The first Ashes Test match at Perth was thrilling. Australia was set a target of 205 runs in the final innings, which didn’t seem easy.
Head's unbeaten 100 off 69 balls made it the second-fastest century in the Ashes, making it the joint-fastest century by an opening batsman.
His innings was filled with fours and sixes. The difficult target on the Perth pitch seemed easy, and the fans were thrilled.
Travis reached his half-century in just 36 balls. This was the third-fastest half-century in Ashes history, demonstrating his aggressive nature.
Head's century also holds the record for the fastest century in the fourth innings. This raised Australia’s hopes of a big win.
