How bloody good was that

8/128 in the first dig, then we end up smashing them into the ground. Can’t say I remember an Ashes game where we’ve come behind from such a shaky start.

So bloody proud of that fight. Langer grit on full show there.

That’s Cullinan - Warne levels of domination

 

[ep2018]

I gave us no chance after that disastrous start. Hoping we can go on and win the series from here.

 

[06Premiers]

Let me set the scene here.

First Ashes Test.

Playing England at their "fortress".

8/122 on Day 1.

You campaigners know what happened.

 

[Quinz]

That's a belter of a win really. Phenomenal stuff.

I haven't watched test cricket for a while (don't get channel 9) and I haven't been that interested.
When the f*** did they start putting numbers on their shirts?

This test was the first time

Pretty pointless really

Yeah...doesn't really look right.

They should wear arm sleeves instead.

Tests from now on are part of the new format World Championship, and as part of that (for some reason) all countries now have numbers.

Steve Smith take a bow. Lyon doesn't get a chance to bowl on that 5 day old pitch without Smith's efforts.

The fortress has been breached.

Why play a summer sport in England?

Why play a summer sport in England?

Playing cricket in England is like playing Cricket in Sri Lanka during the monsoon season.
Both are taking place atm.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Maybe we can just award this Test to the side that hit the most boundaries in the last one.

 

[RookiePick]

Bloody English weather.

 

[ep2018]

Just another three washed out tests after this one to retain the Ashes.

 

[TY24]

Quite frankly I’m shocked that the Jason Roy experiment isn’t working

 

[DanWCE]

Khawaja should've gobbled that up

 

[Seadog]

Khawaja should've gobbled that up

I always found that height to be the hardest to catch when it was coming straight at you. nearly too high for fingers down and too low for fingers up.

Fold up like a soft taco and secure the ball in the belly
