God help me, he was only 19

All Hail Ashton the Astounding of House Aegar, the First of His Name, Hero of Trent Bridge, Sustainer of the Hopes, Judge of the Length and Punisher of the Short Ball, nineteen years of age, a bit of a Cutie and a Very Good Boy, according to his Mother, Sonia.

There's not much to add. I – everyone – was speechless with horror at the first drinks break, I – everyone – was speechless with delight at lunch and I – everyone – was crestfallen when he was caught on 98. My "everyone" is a bit parochial of course, on the first two counts at least.

I can only add: Warner's moustache has to go. Hopefully he leaves it in Africa.
