8th - 12th July: England vs Australia [1st Test]

Everything is under control. We should wrap up the English innings quite smartly from here.
 
Mammoth knock of 4 from 5 by myself. Reallly steadied the innings.
 
You've actually faced 6 balls :p

Well done to England. I'll assume you'll win, but your England so anything can happen :D
 
How did we manage to slip a day behind the real Ashes? tsk tsk tsk. SHAME ON YOU SIMMERS.

Double cricketing weekend I'm afraid. Sorry it's not up to your standards...

On that point, this has actually taken a fair bit of time to do, because those scorecards at the end of each day are taken from the main scorecards at the end of the game. So a fair bit of effort has been put into this on my part, so please acknowledge this by sending a fiver in the post. Cheers ;)

Australia 178 & 277
England 350 & 107/2

England won by 8 wickets

Man of the Match goes to Ledzep for his match winning 102, the first ever PC Ashes century. He also added 25* in the second innings and took a catch. A well deserved MotM award for the English batsman.

That's it from the first PC Ashes Test here at Cardiff, but join us on Thursday for the second Test at Lord's. The Australians will see it as a must win game if they want to win the inaugural PC Ashes, but England will have one hand on urn if they make it 2-0 at Lord's. Until then, goodbye.

Now that we have theim sucked into a false confidence, time to grab the next three Tests. C'arn Aussies!
 
You won with more than a day to spare, quite an embrassing result for us.
 
Congrats Poms. Well played LedZep.
