Just declare now. Let Australia bat for sixty again and the games won [HASHTAG]#easy[/HASHTAG]
 
saw the last couple hours... it was fairly easy enough for england. they basically ran the 3 seamers into the ground today.

ponting on about the sun coming out after lunch making ti much easier....... grasping at straws.

this actually has to be one of the worst aussie performances in an ashes in living memory... [HASHTAG]#RHC[/HASHTAG] has lived long enough to tell us if he can remember a worse aussie side
 
Just watching the highlights. How stupid are the Aussies. You see the guy before you getting caught in the slips so you just copy him <doh>

try lesving the ball if it's outside off stump...
 
just reading the sky sport app.

the amount of records and things have have not happened in a century or more that occurred today is astounding

................

  • Stuart Broad took the equal quickest five-for in Tests, from 19 balls. E Toshack of Australia achieved the same feat in 1947 at the Gabba
  • His 8-15 represents the third cheapest eight-wicket haul in Tests and the best for 119 years
  • It is the eight-best haul by an English bowler, the fourth best ever Ashes figures and a world-record haul for a Test bowler at Trent Bridge, beating Muralitharan's 8-70 vs England in 2006
  • His figures were the best by an England bowler since Devon Malcolm's 9-57 vs South Africa in 1994, and the best Ashes figures since Jim Laker took 19 wickets in a match in 1956
  • Broad joined an elite club by taking his 300th Test wicket, having already scored 2,000 runs
  • Australia's dismissal in just 111 balls was the shortest first innings in Test history
  • It was the first time in more than 15 years that Australia have lost both openers for a duck. Last time was against Sri Lanka at Kandy in 1999
  • It was the first time extras top scored in an Ashes innings - 14 included 11 leg byes and three no-balls. Mitchell Johnson was the top Australian scorer with 13
  • Fewest balls of a match for the fourth wicket to fall: 16 - Australia, Trent Bridge 2015. The previous record was 17 by England vs South Africa in Johannesburg in 1999
  • They narrowly avoided the same record for the third wicket, which was six, by Pakistan vs India in Karachi 2006. Australia lost their third wicket today off the eight ball
  • Teams reduced to 21-5 in the first innings, as Australia were, have won just twice in the history of Test cricket. This match is the 2,175th to be played
  • 1887 was the last time a team won a Test after losing 7 wickets for 33 runs or less in the first innings as Australia were this morning
  • Just one ball in the first seven overs would have hit the stumps - and all six batsmen who were out were caught by England players
  • The last England bowler to take five wickets before lunch on the first day of a Test was Sydney Barnes in 1913
  • Chris Rogers made his first duck for Australia - after 45 innings. It puts him third on the country's all time list. behind A Davidson (51) and M Clarke 46
  • Broad has 43 wickets in 2015 - nine more than any other player in Test cricket this year
  • The 60-run total was the joint-ninth lowest innings total in the history of the Ashes
  • Australia avoided the record for lowest total balls faced in a completed innings - that was 75 by South Africa in 1924, when they scored 30 against England at Edgbaston
  • All out for 60 was Australia's joint seventh-lowest innings total of all time. They made the same score at Lord's against England in 1888
  • Their total of 60 was compiled in just 18.3 overs - the seventh-lowest total number of balls faced of all time

Click to expand...

stats show only one ball in the first 7 overs actually was at the stumps.. they all played at stuff..... it was amazing... like they said hey be positive and go hard at it and it'll fly over slips...

atherton made a point on them trying to play across the ball and that was a lot of the lissue... trying to hit it to mid on annd just edging ti all the time.
