The biggest and oldest Ashes series 2023 in the history of Test cricket has got off to an exciting start. The first Test of the 5-Test Ashes series between England and Australia is being played at The Oval in London. England won the toss in the Test and decided to bat first and declared the innings by scoring 393 runs for 8 wickets on the very first day. Australia's team is playing for 14 runs without losing any wickets. In this match, the players of both teams played by tying black bands on their arms. It was a tribute from the players to the young England all-rounder who was recently publicly stabbed to death.
Actually, the recent triple murder case in Nottingham is in the headlines. Two players have lost their lives in this case. Barnaby Weber and Grace Kumar, both 19 years old, were students at The University of Nottingham. Barnaby Weber was an England club cricketer while Grace Kumar was part of the England Under-16 and Under-18 hockey squads. To pay tribute to these two players, in the first Test of the Ashes series, the players came to the ground wearing black armbands.
It is being told that Barnaby Weber was playing on behalf of Bishops Hull Cricket Club from 2021. Beaver played over 30 matches for the club, scoring 622 runs and taking 29 wickets. Captain Ben Stokes said that everyone is saddened by the Nottingham case. It is difficult to imagine the grief of the families of the three who lost their lives in this incident. The England team is also sad because of this.
In this important match, former England captain Joe Root became the center of everyone's attraction by playing a brilliant century. Root scored an unbeaten 118 facing 152 balls. This was Joe Root's 30th century in Test cricket. With this century, Root has created history by surpassing the great Australian batsman Sir Don Bradman.
