It is a big thing to score just a century in a Test match in which 32 wickets fall in just 2 days and the match ends. The century was also not like that, but a century in just 69 balls while chasing the target in the fourth innings. Australian batsman Travis Head did the same in the first Ashes Test match against England and led his team to a resounding victory. But after scoring such a brilliant century and making the team win, Travis Head also started apologizing.

Australia defeated England by 8 wickets on the second day of the match on Saturday 22 November at Perth Stadium. The star of Australia's victory was fast bowler Mitchell Starc, who gave 3 wickets in England's second innings and took a total of 10 wickets in the match. After this, when Australia achieved the target of 205 runs, Travis Head, who came to open, single-handedly changed the course of the match. Head played a brilliant inning of 123 runs in just 83 balls and Australia won the match in just 28.2 overs.

This innings of Head gave Australia a 1-0 lead in the series. But even after playing such a match-winning inning, Travis Head was seen apologizing. Apologies are not to anyone else but to the audience, who would have been happy with Australia's performance in just 2 days. Speaking to the broadcaster after the match, Travis Head said, "Yesterday (the first day) was not a good day for us, we had some setbacks today too, so to win like this in just two days is tremendous. I feel for the 60,000 people who bought tickets."

Like always, this time too there was huge enthusiasm among the spectators for the first match of the Ashes and the tickets were almost completely sold.
