Thoughts on the Aussies winning their first Ashes Test?

Was really good to see David Warner score a strong 124 and Clarke score a strong 113! Clarke and Warner were in their zone, playing more of their trademark shots, so that was really good to see!

And what about Mitchell Johnson with a total of 8 wickets in the Test!! We were pretty dominant!!

Who here thinks we can maintain that same standard of performance and pressure and continue on to win the second Test with some more great performances by the Aussies?!

Mitchell Johnson took 5 for 42 as Australia dismissed England for 179 in the second innings after setting them a daunting 561 to chase, so that was pretty special!!

For a minute the rain scared me a little bit towards the end of the day, with such dark clouds!! Luckily we still bowled them! That's all that matters! =)

Any answers would be really awesome!! Thanks, Kenneth!

    One of the most crushing Test victories of all time. The Poms couldn't live with the intensity, pace and aggression of the Aussies. They want the Ashes back and this is a statement of intent. Mitchell Johnson was often unplayable and the batters got on top of Graeme Swann. I find it hard to believe that England will come back in this series.

    It was a great game and a great win but it was only the first test in a five test series. We will keep the same team for the second test but the pressure will now be on Watson and Bailey to perform to retain their places. Broad bowled well for the poms but that was it. England needs Anderson and Swann to perform but the Australian batsmen in the first test never allowed them any scope.
