The best figures ever for a pace bowler in a Ashes test. Only Jim Laker when he took 10 and 9 wickets in the same match back in 1956 at Old Trafford has any bowler surpassed that.
Awaits comment from @LenGlover advising that bowling a team out for 60, before lunch is dangerous and giving us the low down on how we can still loose from here. ;-)
any idea if Broad's 8/15 is a record ?? The 10 best test bowling figures only show 2 10 fer's and the rest are 9's, and a lot of those are for 50 or 60 runs or more.
cant see many people taking 8 wickets for less than 15 runs............

Broad's figures are the best for a seamer in Ashes history.

Edit - oops - sorry to repeat Guiness' post a few minutes earlier. Think England will just edge this one. Loving the new look England. It has to be down to the coaches doesnt it?
Not one for making excuses, but I thought the Phillip Hughes tragedy would really spur the ozzies on against us this year...... I think the reality of the terrible loss of their teammate has had the opposite effect,especially on Clarke.
I very seriously doubt that. It didn't effect them at Lords.
It's more to do with an ageing team, not the best selection, poor batting technique and lack of application.
I wonder what odds a bookies would have given at 11 o'clock (knowing that aus were batting first) that by 2:15 on first day Lyth would be second top scoring in the game!.

Old team with a horrific lack of experience in playing in England. That's why Rogers is quality in England because he's played here a lot of his career.

Lyth c Nevill b Starc 14
Cook not out 26
Bell lbw Starc 1
Root not out 0
Cook just put one through Smith & Clarke in the slips. Smith dived in front of Clarke and parried it to safety. Well played lads.
