The first test of the ashes series 2019 was not up to the expectations of the England team and the captain. In the first test, James Anderson was out of color, he was not 100% fit which hurt the England team so badly on the field. The way Steve smith bat in the 2nd innings, it seems like England bowlers did not produce any sort of trouble for the Aussies. Australia wins it quite comfortably in the end.
