Square eyes.
What a great Test.
Not convinced at all by Root opening the batting. Better at 5.

If the Aussies hadn't been so frivolous with thier reviews they might have won that. Broad was out and had they still had a review he would've been given so. Great 1st test and will have to get some sun before the 2nd starts on Thursday,

I think England took them far too lightly - home advantage , best in world etc therefore easy win . Found it not the case and hopefully a huge kick up the arse for England .

Agreed England can play a lot better, although the Aussie top order are capable of making significantly more runs.

We can play better, but we used the DRS much better than they did.

Tense stuff but the right result in the end.
Anderson is a class act,reminds me of when I was younger :mrgreen:

Haddins dismissal looked debatable but fair play to him for walking once it was given.

Roll on Lords.

There was the thinnest of edges through to Prior. Anderson is getting better game by game.
