INDIGENOUS Australian, Scott Boland has etched his name into the Ashes history books after ripping through England’s batting order in the second innings to finish with incredible figures of 6-7 and receive the Mullagh Medal on debut.

The medal is named after Indigenous pioneer, Johnny Mullagh who was the star all-rounder of the first ever Australian cricket team that went on tour in 1868 and is an Australian Cricket Hall of Fame inductee.
