ADELAIDE, Jan 21: Australia left-handed batter Travis Head described his moment of reaching a century in the first Ashes Test at Brisbane 'a crazy moment'. In his whirlwind knock of 152 off just 148 balls, Head smashed 14 boundaries and four sixes while slamming England bowlers all around the park.

His knock eventually propelled Australia to win by nine wickets and set the base for a 4-0 Ashes win. "I said to (Mitchell Starc) Starcy 'what the hell just happened?'. I never in my wildest dreams felt like I was going to walk out and get 100 in a session. For the first 15 balls I didn't know where my next 10 runs were coming from," said Head in a chat with SEN SA Breakfast show.

"The wicket did have a bit in it, and it was a tricky little phase, but I was lucky enough to have Alex Carey at the other end and we've batted heaps together. Those runs to get to 100, it was just a crazy moment… you can see from the celebration, the emotion that I couldn't quite believe what was going on," added Head.
