Gabba Dabba Doo: Head and Smith put Australia on top

Australia 7-405 (Head 153, Smith 101)

There was something reassuring about seeing Travis Head walk to the wicket today and something deeply satisfying about his first boundary. The ball presented itself on a good length, he gave it that sort of short arm jab reminiscent of Bruce Lee’s famous one-inch punch and sent the the Kookaburra at speed to the boundary amid a flurry of feathers and flailing fielders.
