Mahli Beardman had Harry Brook edging behind, Joe Root following him back and England struggling to find an answer. The Margaret River fast bowler finished his ODI debut with six wickets, turning Australia's series opener in Perth into a substantial introduction.

The highlights, "Australia v England 2026-27 | First ODI", reached about 3.7 million views in 19 hours on cricket.com.au. That is far beyond the channel's usual opening-day audience for regular videos, with the comments already much busier than a typical first day too.

Beardman's spell gives the package its centre. Josh Inglis takes the catch for his first wicket, and the dismissals keep coming: edges behind, a five-wicket celebration, then a caught-and-bowled to complete his haul. England are bowled out cheaply, leaving Australia's batters a short chase.

There is still a jolt before the home side settles. Gus Atkinson bowls Travis Head first ball, before Mitchell Marsh answers with boundaries and big sixes. Australia eventually win by seven wickets.

Viewers are picking over Beardman's bowling action and grip, making comparisons with established Australian quicks and singling out Marsh's clean hitting. The channel has also given the debutant his own Short, "Starboy Beardman's unbelievable over 🤩 #AUSvENG", which is drawing an unusually large audience for its Shorts.

The contrast with another upload is particularly neat: just before this debut, the channel posted Kane Richardson arguing that Australia's experienced Test pace trio should keep playing. Perth's opener offers a look at someone beginning his own international story.

  • I really feel watching cricket in Australia is something else. Everything is so well managed, stadiums are clean and the environment is so peaceful. And in daytime it is even more relaxing to watch, everything looks so clear and fresh.
