Khaleej Times

England fast bowler Brydon Carse said his team has firm plans to counter the threat posed by Travis Head after the Australian made a blistering century at the top of the order to set up an eight-wicket win in the Ashes series opener in Perth.

Middle-order batter Head opened in place of the injured Usman Khawaja in Australia’s second innings and the aggressive left-hander made a century in 69 balls - the second-fastest in Ashes history - en route to a match-winning 123.
Head told reporters ahead of the second Test beginning in Brisbane on Thursday that he was prepared to reprise that role, but Carse said the visitors will be ready regardless of who comes out to bat early.
“I think that was a phenomenal knock by a high-quality player,” Carse said on Monday.
