Dawid Malan savours maiden ton after fun battle with pacemen
Having honed his game against “dibbly dobbly” deliveries in English county cricket, Dawid Malan was thrilled to conquer a hostile Australian pace assault to create his maiden century in the next Ashes Test on Thursday.
The batsman's unbeaten 110 at the WACA cauldron anchored a 174-run stand with wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow (75 not out) to push England to 305 for four at stumps because the tourists emerged at the top after a fascinating opening day.Malan's maiden Test century was also his team's first because of this tour, providing an important boost for Joe Root's side because the Ashes holders bid to claw their long ago in to the series from 2-0 down. Occasionally, it absolutely was tough choosing the 30-year-old lefthander who'd to endure a quick ball barrage from Australia's fuming pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins.
