The Ashes series is finally under way and with 14 wickets falling on day one here's the reaction from home and Down Under.
Malcolm Knox - Sydney Morning Herald "If an Australian could freeze time, it might be at 5.05pm at Trent Bridge on Wednesday 10 July. England rolled for 215 and short an opening bowler; Shane Watson slashing the boundary ropes with a bat like a broadsword. Even the sun was thrusting, Australian-style, through the cloud cover. Was that a familiar look in England's slumped shoulders and Australia's strut? Yes, but only for a nostalgic cameo. This is 2013, not 2001."
