Rare Ashes Test: No Fifty Scored in 93 Years at MCG!

  • Australia and England played a rare Test at MCG where no batter scored a half-century, first time since 1932 in Australia.
  • The 1932 match, also at MCG, saw South Africa bowled out for 36 and 45, with Jack Fingleton's 40 being the top score.
  • The current match saw 36 wickets fall in two days on a heavily criticized, lively MCG pitch.
  • Australia was bowled out for 132 (Travis Head 46); England chased 175 to win, with Jacob Bethell (40) and Harry Brook/Jamie Smith sealing it.
  • England's victory restored pride, but the unbalanced nature of the MCG pitch dominated discussions.

Why It Matters: England won a historic Ashes Test at MCG where no batter reached 50, highlighting a controversial pitch.
