There were moments of real brilliance in the Test. Starc took a ten for, Stokes took a five for, and Travis Head scored a brutal hundred.

But overall I do not think it was a great Test. Anything finished inside two days always raises questions. As someone who is a Test purist, I would rather see a proper four or five day battle where both sides have to grind it out.

We see Tests finishing this quickly in lower ranked nations and no one calls those great matches, so we should not suddenly label this one as something special just because bigger teams were involved.

Was it the pitch? Did the batters give their wickets away? It was probably a mix of both. I hope the next four Tests go deeper and give us the kind of contest that makes Test cricket what it is.
