      Ask him if he has inside information through working as Michael Clarke's fluffer!

        60 all out! I was cheering for England thinking they were the underdogs. I haven't been more wrong in all these years of watching cricket.

          All out for 60, that's weak as piss. There goes the ashes.

            Surprised to see an Aussie in here at the moment… 😃 😃 😃

                Not that I want to gloat - not….. Courtesy BBC....

                This is only the fourth time in Test history that a team has bowled first and been batting by lunch.

                60 all out is Australia's joint seventh-lowest total in Test matches. It was the earliest fall of the fourth, fifth and sixth wicket in Test cricket

                Stuart Broad's 8-15 was the third-cheapest eight-for in Test history. Extras top-scored for the first time in Ashes cricket

                Test Match Special has just replayed every one of the 10 Australia wickets. It was almost impossible to hear the commentary over the roar of the Trent Bridge crowd. Andrew Samson is now running through all the remarkable statistics. It might take him all of the interval

                Stuart Broad has the third-best Ashes bowling figures in history - behind Jim Laker's 10-53 and 9-37 in 1956

                Cheapest eight-wicket hauls in Test cricket:

                8-7: G Lohmann, England v SA, 1896
                8-11: J Briggs, England v SA, 1889
                8-15: S Broad, England v Aus, 2015
                8-24: G McGrath, Aus v Pak, 2004

                  That about sums it up  😞

                    Nasser Hussain made a wise comment: 5 mm of grass at Trent Bridge last year produced a boring draw with number 11 Anderson scoring 81. A year later, with 8 mm of grass and cloudy skies, Australia have been blown away for 60.
                    The difference a little grass makes.

                      BTW, the club running Trent Bridge stadium won't make money as this game won't go into the fourth day. Hope they have insurance.

                          Just spoke to my Aussie work colleague and asked him how his teams strategy was working out now…............................it was a short conversation!

                          There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                            Well done thus far Australia…...England in Boycotts words were pathetic....

                                            What he said about Butler:

                                            _"Jos Buttler is like a rabbit caught in the headlights of Ashes cricket. A seven-year-old schoolboy would have played better. He hasn't made a run all series.

                                            He hasn't shown any application whatsoever. It looks to me like his mind and confidence is shot for Test cricket - it's pathetic."_

                                            Oh, but of course @ddtrash 's colleague, we're trying to make it into a game….
