Mitchell Starc entered record books on Wednesday as the Australia pacer became only the 2nd bowler in the history of Ashes to pick up a wicket with the first delivery of the series. Starc produced a ripper as he took out England opener Rory Burns’s leg stump on Day 1 of the first Ashes Test at the Gabba, Brisbane.

Starc got the Gabba crowd up on its feet with the very first delivery of the Ashes series, which got underway on Wednesday amid plenty of expectations. Burns, who was looking to cover the stumps, was done around his legs as he missed a delivery that swung late.

Starc was pumped up as he celebrated with the rest of his Australian teammates at the Gabba as England had a horror start to their campaign Down Under.

Bowlers to take a wicket of the first delivery of an Ashes series

Australia’s Ernie McCormick dismissed Stan Worthington in Brisbane in 1936 which was also Don Bradman’s first Ashes Test as captain.

Mitchell Starc got Rory Burns out bowled on Day 1 of the Brisbane Test in 2021.

England won the toss and opted to bat on a cloudy morning but Australia charged in as they were wonderfully led by new captain Pat Cummins, who rotated his bowlers for short spells in the first session.

England were reduced to 59 for 4 at Lunch as they lost their captain and the leading run-scorers of 2021, Joe Root for 0. Josh Hazlewood continued from where he left at the T20 World Cup as he troubled the England batters with the accuracy and control that he is known for.

Hazlewood began his spell by picking up the wicket of Dawaid Malan, who batted at No. 3. He then got the big wicket of Root while captain Cummins struck big to get Ben Stokes, who was looking good on his return to competitive action.

Right after Lunch, England were dealt another blow as they lost opener Hameed for 25. Jos Buttler and Ollie Pope were looking to rebuild the England innings after they were 5 down for less than 70 runs.

Meanwhile, England did not pick Stuart Broad despite naming the senior pacer in the 12-man squad on the eve of the first Test. They were also without their record wicket-taker James Anderson for the first Ashes Test.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
