Ashes 2015 Landmarks

I don't know if this first entry has been mentioned in the match thread because I haven't been following it, but some events need a separate thread of their own.

Australia's first innings at Cardiff is the first time in Test history that batsman 3 through 6 have all been dismissed in the 30's.

Chris Rogers is the first man to score seven consecutive 50's without reaching a century. I have a strange vision of Overrated_Sanity pleasuring himself here.

The castle they keep showing near the ground is worthy of a mention. It's quite something.

It is indeed impressive. The current Ashes series can't really take any credit though as it predates it by about a thousand years.
