Ashes: Neser Was Exceptional, Delighted He's Got His First Five-for, Says Smith
Cricket Australia: Australia captain Steve Smith hailed Michael Neser’s brilliant performance steering the hosts’ to an eight-wicket win over England at the Gabba, saying that the seam-bowling all-rounder was exceptional and he was delighted over him getting his maiden five‑wicket haul in Tests.
Returning to Test cricket after more than three years, Neser picked figures of 1-43 and 5-41, his maiden five‑wicket haul, as Australia bowled out England for 241 and chased down 65 to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
"I'm pretty chilled now! It was good fun there. A great day of cricket. The guys toiled really hard there. It was a good partnership from Will Jacks and Ben Stokes but once we broke that we were able to get through and leave ourselves a chase of 60 odd so pleasing."
