1st Ashes Test: England v Australia at Cardiff on Jul 8-12, 2015

[Eelectrica]

The irony is his first dismissal was actually worthy of a review... :lol:

The most fitting way for him to go out would be to pull a hammy on the way back to the dressing room...

We couldn't be that lucky. I mean that would seal the deal so yeah...

 

[chigurh]

his unbelievably selfish and woeful strike rate with the DRS is literally the thing I will remember most about his test career

 

[hineyrulz]

Fare thee well Sunshine, if there was a more reliable batsman for Australia i am yet to watch him.

 

[gregstar]

It is quite an emotional time. We're all feeling it I think.

 

[8Ball]

Watto will go down as one of Australia's best ever test captains.

 

[benched tiger]

Queensland are reknown for claiming every body i wonder if he would admit to Watto being one of their own ?

 

[gregstar]

We will never forget you sunshine!

 

[gregstar]

Queensland are reknown for claiming every body i wonder if he would admit to Watto being one of their own ?

Never heard of him.

 

[benched tiger]

Never heard of him.

:lol:..Classic...!

*single tear runs down my face*

 

[gregstar]

Was that him celebrating a successful referral?

 

[8Ball]

Just under 60 boundaries to go now. Walk in the park

 

[benched tiger]

Was that him celebrating a successful referral?

I think you will find that he is asking 'what do i do with this wooden thing ? '

 

[jargan83]

All over.

Pretty dismal attempt with the bat.

 

[Pete Cash]

Johnson at least took it from absolute drubbing to pretty embarrassing. That's something.

 

[roughyed8]

Hammered����

 

[TheParraboy]

congrats to the poms

pulled our pants down

hopefully we can learn from this and play better next test

 

[JJ]

Pretty comprehensive that - Aust's batting is overrated imo - and not sure how long you can persist with Watson and Haddin... and even beyond that, the side has a real Dad's Army feel to it with Rogers, Clarke, Voges, Watson, Haddin, and Johnson all either past their best or past their use by dates

That said, I kind of expect you to win the series still - but they simply dominated, whereas in our test 1 loss we dominated apart from a session or two - worrying signs

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Haddin pretty much dropped the first test when he put Root down on 0. If he holds it IMO England don't recover.

Glad England won, it sets up the series nicely. Expecting Australia to hit back hard and take game 2.
