Nathan Ellis was central to that dominance. Mixing pace cleverly on a surface that rewarded change ups, he unsettled Ireland from the outset and finished with outstanding figures of 4 for 12. His use of slower balls and variations created constant uncertainty, preventing Ireland from building any partnerships. Backed by strong support from the spin department, Ellis’ spell effectively shut the door on the chase and earned him Player of the Match honours. It was a composed, tactically sharp performance that highlighted Australia’s depth despite their injury concerns.
