I'm just glad Australia won the Border Gavaskar trophy

Now it will be interesting to see if Agar will make the final 11......

How about them Aussies at the cricket tonight...

(9 for 56 after 18 overs)

Edit... just one minute later - all out for 60 in the first innings.

Embarrassing is an understatement.

Please just lock this thread now...

Came out of the dragonball movie about 9 o clock to half a dozen messages saying not to check the cricket score.

I wish I'd have followed their advice!

It's not good when the highest "scorer" is the Extras.

14 extras, with the highest batsman score being 13.

I feel sorry for any diehard Australian cricket fans who have flown over there for the Ashes. Or those people who buy tickets for the last 2-3 days (because it is the weekend), and the game is over on the third day (like the last one was... and this one probably will as well).

There could be 20 wickets in a day!

Bell just got dismissed.

I think we are rooted...

Can’t believe Steve Smith thought he could carry on as team captain after this ball-tampering scandal - he was fooling himself thinking he wouldn’t get stood down.

Arguably being the Aussie Cricket Team Captain is about the highest post a sports player can aspire to in this country - he got the top job and now this all he will ever be remembered for, even if by some miracle they let him resume his captaincy after the current test.

Of course a lot of the team share the guilt - reckon some heads should roll over this
