Travis Head Is A Better Player On The Leg Side; Taylor Reacts On Head's Ashes Century
Former Australia captain Mark Taylor said that left-handed batter Travis Head looked a better player on the leg-side during his unbeaten knock of 112 on day two of the first Ashes Test at The Gabba on Thursday. Head reached his maiden Ashes hundred off just 85 balls with a drive past mid-on off Chris Woakes, recording the third-fastest hundred in Ashes history after Adam Gilchrist in 2006 and Gilbert Jessop in 1902.
His onslaught in the final session of day two helped Australia take a 196-run lead heading to stumps over a weary and sore England. The 27-year-old Head also justified his selection over Usman Khawaja for the last specialist batters' spot in the first Ashes Test. During his unbeaten knock, Head was prolific in the mid-on region, getting 22 runs.
