13 of their current 54 runs are extra's.
How embarrassing.

Morany · « **Reply #705 on:** August 06, 2015, 12:42:22 PM »

All out for 60. Broad finishes with a remarkable 8 wickets for 15 runs!

The bowlers will hit out and get them to just short of 100 I think

Gotta say it's a good job the bowler's made such a significant contribution by hitting 'out'.

.

Imagine how low the score would have been if they hadn't have made such a fine effort.

Least number of balls faced EVER !!!

Downunder Stripes · « **Reply #710 on:** August 06, 2015, 12:53:46 PM »

Bowlers got 27 of the 46 runs scored

The Aussie's first innings score was the lowest in the Ashes Series since 1948!

The lowest in any Ashes Series was also Australia, 36 in 1902 played in Birmingham.

Having stayed awake most of the series to watch the Aussies beat us 5-0 this at the moment feels pretty sweet

charliemike · « **Reply #714 on:** August 06, 2015, 03:01:49 PM »

I was thinking how would they cope without Jimmy Anderson. Stuart Broad was quite simply Awesome. The Aussies must be shellshocked. Wonderful days cricket.

Thats Cricket at its best.Better viewing than any game of football was that

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #718 on:** August 06, 2015, 09:56:59 PM »

Two good half centuries today.
One from Joe Root, the other from Australia.

baggie53 · « **Reply #719 on:** August 06, 2015, 11:01:02 PM »

I thought "Extras" did really well for the Aussies today

AlbionFan · « **Reply #720 on:** August 07, 2015, 12:37:20 AM »

It's great being a Pom down here right now and I make sure they hear the accent.

Amazing first day at Trent Bridge. The ashes are coming home!

AlbionFan · « **Reply #722 on:** August 07, 2015, 02:46:32 AM »

Well done to Stuart Broad for taking up the mantle as our main strike bowler in the absence of James Anderson in such devastating style.

8-15 is a truly remarkable performance and against quality opposition, taking most of the top order batsmen and stubborn tail enders.
