SEN • November 25th, 2025 11:57 am
SEN Sportsday duo Liam Pickering and Bryce McGain have delivered their player ratings for the first Ashes Test in Perth.
The Aussies won the match by eight wickets after Travis Head’s brilliant second innings hundred, but it wasn’t all one-way running for the home side with England leading for one and a half days before capitulating.
The duo did their ratings out of 10 and in starting batting order.
