Scott Boland ripped through the heart of England's batting as he returned remarkable figures of 6 for 7 on his Test debut at the MCG as Australia won by an innings and 14 runs. This was the cheapest five-for on men's Test debut. Meanwhile, England crashed to 68 all out.

This is how Twitter reacted to his spellbinding performance:

@AdamBurnett09FollowAbsolute scenes at the MCG. Scott Boland now has the best innings figures by an Aussie quick on debut since Bob Massie’s pair of 8-fers at Lord’s, 1972 #Ashes

@melindafarrellFollowFairytale of fairytales for Scott Boland. To secure a five-fer on debut at the MCG, in an Ashes, on the day Australia secure the series... absolutely tremendous. I hope it inspires many Indigenous kids out there to dream of playing Test cricket. #Ashes

@mohanstatsmanFollowPat Cummins a fifer at Brisbane, did not play the next at Adelaide. Jhye Richardson a fifer at Adelaide, did not play the next at MCG. Scott Boland has now taken a fifer at MCG, will he play the next at SCG?#AusvEng #AusvsEng#EngvAus #EngvsAus#Ashes #Ashes2021#AshesTest
