In the third Test match of the Ashes 2023, England beat Australia by three wickets. With this victory, England made an amazing comeback in the series and kept the hopes for a series win alive. A lack of support from other bowlers and batters could be termed as the biggest factors in Australia’s loss. Apart from Mitchell Marsh, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins, not a single player impressed at the Headingley ground.

Meanwhile, Fans and former cricketers have started objecting to the selection of Scott Boland in the Australian line-up. Fans are shocked by his underwhelming performance in the prestigious tournament. It’s worth noting that Boland has been able to get just two wickets in Two matches. In the meantime, he has conceded around 231 runs.

This came as a shock to many, as Boland was a hero for Australia in the recently concluded World Test Championship finals. In the prestigious game, he took five wickets while giving away just 105 runs. His heroics helped Australia keep Indian batters in check. Fans were expecting him to continue his dominance with the ball. However, he failed in his first two games, and it might cost him his place in the XI.

He also scored a crucial 40 runs off just 16 balls in two innings. His amazing performance has helped England put some pressure on the Aussies.

Meanwhile, Wood might keep James Anderson out of the remaining games, as his performance has been mediocre in recent times. Anderson failed in the first Test and lost his place in the playing XI. However, Stuart Broad might make a comeback in place of the second pacer, as he did well in the Lord’s Test but unfortunately missed this Test due to an ankle injury.
