The aggressive Australians romped home the winner after tea on the third day at the WACA as England slumped to 223 all out after resuming their second innings at 33 for one. England were without the services of two men after Chris Silverwood twisted his ankle on Friday and did not bat. Alex Tudor was felled by a Brett Lee bouncer. The English pace-man had to be taken out in a stretcher after he ducked into a short-pitched delivery from Lee that opened up a gash above his eye, which needed stitching. It was an eventful day. First English batsman Mark Butcher smashed his stumps in frustration when he was dismissed for a duck immediately after a terrible mix-up ran out with England’s best batsman Michael Vaughan. Needing to make 271 to force the Australians to bat again, England looked to be heading towards defeat before lunch after losing three quick wickets in the first hour of play. But England captain Nasser Hussain and former skipper Alec Stewart defied the Aussie attack to delay the inevitable. Hussain fell for 61 after tea and Stewart remained unbeaten on 66 when he ran out of partners. in-depth coverage > Ashes Series 2002-2003 > |
