Video: The Ashes 2013 - "It was a fantastic moment" - Chris Rogers on his maiden Test century

Chris Rogers, who became a Test centurion to put Australia into a controlling position at the close on day two of the fourth Test on Saturday.

Chris Rogers: “I didn’t have a care in the world. No, I mean it was a nervous time. I got the score in the last game, and thought that was maybe that was my opportunity and then, you know, just got to 90s and the England boys were saying ‘if you don’t get it now, you may never’. So, it was just a fantastic moment to finally get it.”

“After all this time, you know, you’re fully aware of how much it means. To get a hundred playing for your country is just a magnificent moment. Just so happy and so relieved I got it.”

Stuart Broad on Chris Rogers: “You have to give a lot of credit to Buck (Chris Rogers) with the way he dug it out. He realised the wicket is not made for flashy stroke-play. It’s a real grinding wicket and you accumulate your runs. It’s certainly the best wicket to bowl seam on. We’ve had this Ashes series, there’s no doubt about that. The new ball with a slightly fuller length really did seam around, and I think when the ball got 45, 50 overs old we saw a big change, and there wasn’t as much seam as there was earlier which made the inroads with the new ball pretty crucial, and actually gives us a lot of hope for tomorrow morning. We know that the ball will seam tomorrow morning, and we need some quick wickets. We need to go out there not expecting anything to just happen, and actually force the issue and try and create some chances and grab them.”

Talking about Chris Rogers being given out caught-behind off Broad’s bowling, but Hot Spot indicated ball on pad only and when lbw came into the equation, an ‘umpire’s call’ simulated impact with the top of off-stump but that was of no use to England – because the initial verdict was for a different mode of dismissal.

Broad explained: “I think it’s the first time any of us have experienced an ‘out’, reviewed ‘out, out, out’, given ‘not out’. There was certainly some confusion to start with. Because we were all celebrating and then it was given ‘not out’. I think the rule is changing in October, that would be given ‘out’. It’s a bit odd because if it’s an lbw decision that showed an edge, it would then be given ‘out’. So it’s a bit of an odd one, but I think the ICC realise it’s odd, so they’re changing it.”
