Ashes 2015: Twitter reacts to England’s thumping win over Australia in Cardiff
England defeated Australia by 169-runs in the first Ashes Test on Saturday to take a 1-0 lead in the five match-series.
England not only defeated Australia with a day to spare, but literally went past a listless Australian team which was vastly unexpected.
Here is how the fans and former greats reacted to the big win on the micro-blogging site Twitter.
As expected, Australia minus Ryan Harris made the playing field quite level. #Ashes2015

‘Good at home. Ordinary away’ defines the era we live in. Well done, England. Tighten the screws from here.

Captain Cook rediscovers winning ways. Powerful performance by England. Australia will hurt bad. Would never have expected such a thrashing
