Josh Tongue achieved a notable milestone by becoming the first England bowler in the 21st century to claim a five-wicket haul at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. His impressive figures of 5 for 45 came during the Boxing Day Test, where his performance played a crucial role in bowling Australia out for 152 in the first innings. This achievement ended a long 27-year gap since an England bowler last managed the feat at the iconic venue. Earlier England bowlers to take five wickets at the MCG included Darren Gough and Dean Headley, making Tongue’s effort historically significant.
