Great win and, just as important, a great performance. Nothing jammy about it...well deserved. The Aussies will be doing some hard thinking before the next match.
I have emailed my Aussie boss 
Nice that they decided to go with 4 day tests!!!

I was lucky enough to be there on Saturday, what a day. The memories will last a long time.
I know we got thrashed last time, but I couldn't understand why we were presumed to be sitting ducks in these Ashes. Never read so many pessimistic comments in the media. We're at home and the Aussies have a bad record on the road. Only one win admittedly, but what a good one. Roll on to Lords'.
Realistically we need to win two out of two now, but given that we're basically playing with just four batsmen, that doesn't look too likely.
One win out of two could be enough if Essex lose twice, or if Glamorgan beat Gloucs, but lose to Kent. Even then though, there would be the possibility of Surrey or Somerset finishing strongly and powering past into 4th place - they both have a game in hand on us, Essex, Gloucs and Glamorgan (well, two on Gloucs).

I think that we need to give up on HCC this season, in both CC and T20 formats. Very disappointing, as i thought our batting line up was far stronger than what has transpired this season. There is a step up to CC Div 1 but really strange how so many of the top order have lost form at the same time.
Haddin and Watson out for next test. Haddin personal reasons (might be the last time we see him in the ashes) and Watson for poor batting (obviously).
England all-rounder Moeen Ali is a doubt for the second Ashes Test against Australia, which starts at Lord's on Thursday, because of a side injury.
The Worcestershire off-spinner's fitness will be assessed during practice at Lord's on Wednesday.
Yorkshire leg-spinner Adil Rashid will be picked if Moeen is deemed unfit.
Perhaps Rashid will get a chance after all .

I'd like to see Rashid in the side anyway. He got a few runs in the ODI's against New Zealand so missing Moeen's batting shouldn't be a problem. I just love the thought of a leg-spinner skittling out the Aussies at Lords!
Yes . Hard luck on Ali ( if he is indeed out ) but at lease this will give Rashid a chance .
