Who do you have in mind Jasin.

I like that blonde bomber batman O'Connell for starters.

4, nearly 5 (dropped) wickets go for just 11 runs.

Never seen a more lively Perth pitch as this since the Clive Loydd Windies used it well. It's got bounce and giving the seam it's full potential.

Steve Smith spitting everywhere as usual and fondling his crotch as much as possible. Usman looking old and slow. Off injured again. I think this will be his last test.

Head to Head and Weather-stick are still in opening with 0/56. Maybe the moisture is out of the pitch and it's looking more like a Brazillian?

As a loyal sth Sydney supporter and now a wavering wallabies supporter I am very happy to finally see my team win!!!

Because if you consider the two teams I mentioned first.

I haven’t had a lot to be happy about 😓

Such is sports.

I think it was a fantastic test and not just because Australia won.

It was an amazing test match and it could have gone either way!

I give England my respect.

Great match!

I support the No Bonk Ban in Federal Government because I believe anything we can do to stop our current politicians from breeding is best for the future of our nation.

Churchill turned over in his grave:

Australia v England:
Head blasts hosts to eight-wicket Ashes win in first Test inside two days –

- as it happened
An astonishing 83-ball 123 from Travis Head shattered England,
who lost the first two-day Ashes Test since 1921.

In sport, I don't really care who wins.
It's not really important compared to wasting one's life watching it if it is a very boring spectacle. Winning such an abysmal match just softens the blow. I love a good interesting and entertaining performance from both sides and we got it.

We saw a 'Fast Bowler's Paradise' as delivered once again by a great Perth pitch.
We also saw the only option left to a batting strategy against such.
To attack the bowling like a T20 score and Head-to-head just happened to be the best exponent of that type of batting, in the side.
They were also lucky that England didn't catch on till it was too late.

Adelaide is the best pitch though.
It brings out the best in all facets of the game.

South Africa win Test series in India after 23 years (Cronje era).
Captained by 'black' Bavuma.

Meanwhile Matt Renshaw, after hitting centuries as an opener in State. Might be recalled for injured 'old fart' Usman, although he put on the Media bullschitt of stating that he would prefer Usman to keep his spot. Roll Eyes

Why do Aussie sportsmen put on this bullschitt show?
When in truth he really hopes Usman can't and he can get back in, etc.
Or he is definitely not to be entrusted into recall with this lack of motivation, ambition and energy.
