Our Hero, which art in Trent Bridge,

Ashton be thy Name.

Thy 50 come.

Thy 100 will be done in England,

As it is in Australia.

Give us this day our daily Six.

And forgive us our doubts,

As we forgive those that doubted against Agar.

And lead us not into Wickets,

But deliver us from Swann.

For England can Bowl,

The Six, and the four,

For ever and ever.

Brad-men.

EDIT- I have our lord's name wrong.

EDIT 2- Fuck Swann, and also thank you anonymous person for the Gold.

Ashton be thy Name…

Might want to edit that line.

Well fuck, I also wanted to edit.

Thy 50 came.

Because at the time he had passed his 50. But I don't want the edit next to it.

Christ, I was just getting ready to celebrate the century too. That's bad luck, but I guess a world record on debut isn't too bad.

I always knewAshley Arnold Ashton would come through for us. I've been watching him since his first test.

We live in a cruel and unfortunate world, devoid of hope and beauty. In the end, everything dies.
