Operation Ashes Retrieval - Day 1 of 25

Status is as follows:

Operatives all in place; Head Agent P had disappointing start as coin failed to follow orders and land in the required way. As a result, Head Agent P and his men were send into the field.

It was not a complete failure.

Report on agents' positions to follow:

Agent Hilf - not bad, 1 hit

Agent Johns - no hits, not brilliant

Agent X - nice first assignment, 2 hits

Agent Twat - still a big blonde airhead, but is forgiven for his 1 hit and starting the second session well

Agent N - brought in for a laugh, no hits

Agent Sids - returning to action after time out and has quietened critics and Englishmen alike - 6 hits including 3 running.

Agent Kat - started shakey, but settled nicely. Mission control should hope for a good early session tomorrow from Agent Kat and Agent Twat.


Opposition status - all hits gone for 260
Mission status - no hits for 25

Report ends.

Good for us, not so bad for the Poms as everyone seems to think: Cook, Bell even the tattooed idiot with the mo looked pretty good. Our tattooed idiot with a mo looked awful.

KACHING SIDDLE

Perfidious Albion takes one in the face, was a good start to the series.

It wasn't as bad as everyone was making at all, but it has been nice to shut them up a little. Strangely quiet on twitter this morning after all the arrogant build up.

Johnson not fantastic; Doherty ok but not exactly scary and let's hope Katich can do better than a sold 45 from 198 balls, hey?

Nice for Siddle after such a long break. I fully admit I didn't want him in the first test, Nathan. I shall never speak such evil again.

God, am I pleased the first day has turned out to be interesting compared to all the other bores we've been getting in other recent Test matches.
I don't think I've ever rated Siddle much which is why him taking a sixer was flabbergasting. I was sorta expecting Mitch to be awesome (boo ya!) instead of him.
And yeah, it's always nice when things don't exactly go around as expected.

Would have preferred Dougie instead of MJ, to be honest.

Nathan and Sunny, I was so expecting Mitch to be awesome. I really thought he was going to be the man at the Gabba, as he was at Headingley last year. Oh how wrong I was.

England would have been all out for about 210 if it weren't for Mitch being shit.
