Brisbane, First test, day 4, The Gabba, and we have ended up in the thick of it. Who'd have thought it hey ?
Got a very early train from Nambour, which was free with a match ticket, Nambour is a smallish town just outside Noosa 100 ks north of Brisbane. Once at Brisbane there was also a free bus service from the central station right into the guts of the ground. Just unheard hey.
All day Dave was like a dog with a very large bone. Me on the other hand was staring down 8 hours on a small plastic seat. It was a little dull,
but sometimes that's test cricket for you I'm told. Think I am more of a 20/20 bring your own Pimms sort of cricket follower. On the other hand the ozzy/pom banter made up for the dull moments. The best chant of the day award going to the Ozzies: "you're in re-cess-ion" which rang out for a good 5 odd mins. In return the poms give it "we've got the ash-es" There were so many others but most can't really be repeated but you get the picture.
The boys did well, just a shame it was a little grind out like. Not so good for your non-test match folk. However 517 for 1 is some going, but yeah not too thrilling. But with things edging towards a draw the barmy army were celebrating hard, as in these parts a draw is as good as a win.
