Ashes Rewind: Gilchrist shines in Perth classic

Re-live a memorable day of Ashes cricket, ball-by-ball, as we countdown to the 2025-26 series

Full over: Gilchrist brutally takes down Panesar in Perth

To celebrate the countdown to the men's Ashes reaching 50 days, we're going to replay a full day's play from a classic Australia-England match.

We landed on day three of the 2006 Perth Test with the Aussies hunting a victory to regain the Ashes after wins in the first two matches of the series. 

Australia hold a slim 29-run lead from the first innings and on day three we'll see big contributions from Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke and Adam Gilchrist.

Tune into the stream from 10:30am AEST on Thursday October 2 on the CA Live app and cricket.com.au's YouTube channel and follow the hashtag #AshesRewind on socials.
