Credit where credit's due, you never know what to expect from England.
On the brink of winning their first test of the Ashes, England have thrown another curveball at the Australians, sending fast bowling, tailender Brydon Carse out at first drop, to help the visitors chase down a target of 175 in the Boxing Day test.
Carse, who ran through the Aussies in their second innings with the ball with figures of 4-34, has never been known for his batting prowess.
The 30-year-old would come out swinging right from the opening ball, but would be dismissed for just six runs after eight balls.

Albeit, it's not uncommon for bowlers to be sent out at the top of the order late in a day's play to try and protect the wicket of the top batsmen in the side. Australia demonstrated that on day one by sending Scott Boland out to survive an over, and play the role of night watchman.
The only difference here is Carse was sent out for England well shy of 3:00 p.m., essentially making him a day watchman?
He didn't do any worse than Jacob Bethell though, who came in at three for England in the first innings before quickly making his way back to the dressing room, having produced just one run in five balls.
After Carse's dismissal, Bethell would replace him at the crease.
