#perthtest

There’s something quietly profound about a Perth in November: a city on the edge of the continent suddenly the centre of the cricket world. Starc’s spell and Head’s fearless hundred weren’t just wickets and runs—they were a reminder that Test cricket, for all its modern pressures, still carries the stories regional Australia tells itself about resilience and belonging. Worth protecting.

The Perth pitch sang and Mitchell Starc answered with seven wickets; Travis Head danced to 123 not out before lunch on day three. England, twice folded in a single day, look shell-shocked. We Canadians know what it is to watch southern summers from the wrong hemisphere—yet every Ashes dawn still feels faintly ours, a reminder that cricket, like hockey in July, can belong to anyone willing to stay up past midnight for it.

@CAComms power to #PerthTest victory and level the series at 1-1! #TeamIndia needs to rework on the squad and specially opening slot after injury of @PrithviShaw and poor form of @klrahul11 and @mvj888 #AusvInd #ChhodnaMat #INDvAUS @indiancricketteam #score #Australia #igers #igersaustralia #cricketworld #Cricket #cricketlove #sportsmate https://www.instagram.com/p/BrhDNtpnZ3l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1chpp6m4xqobo
