Sadly I'm back at work, but have cricinfo updating me with the score.

Don’t know but I’ll ask. He came over to my place last night and we had a beer together. It’s one degree of separation. His parents also lived in the same complex in Bardon as me (but years apart). Met his girlfriend last night, she’s lovely (rotten luck for my daughter because I’d have tried...

Definitely not. I remember seeing at least 15 overs between the red wines 4/50, who’d have thought

They were a little slow with the covers. Once they were ready to roll the up and the rain started again. Better communication with the BoM needed

It’s a small world. Seems that our server even lives on the same street as me. What a small world. One of our group is an artist and drew him (and his uncle Greg) from a photo: We’re back playing! Finally…

With the rain set in, I went and bought sone antipasto plates. Drinking red is boring without some counterpoints.

Settling in to watch some cricket, watch the rain pass over and everyone run for cover, the covers to come on and then off, then we get another Indian wicket. Rinse and repeat. Time to open another bottle (we’ll we’d almost finished it) Better photo of the Yalumba table We wanted to try...

Back for the second sitting, except we’re not eating. Getting the ground ready after two rain showers Greg Ritchie with QCC GM/CEO Lachlan Furnell in the Wisden Room (intermain Platinum Club): Gave Lachlan a bottle of St Henri 2016 (along with Operations Manager Jacob). Staff got cash...

Well Isa is in trouble:

Somewhere I missed advising the 3rd wicket. Must be the red wine. Scudding showed coming through at regular intervals.

Oh yes, Marsh pouches a screamer at gully. The whole Club started screaming, louder with the replays on the TV. Gill back in the sheds. 2/6, what a start

Entree: Well why are be batting? Thank the Lord Carey got out and they declared: Okay, another bottle so we can do a side by side tasting: We’re being served by cricket royalty. His uncles are Ian, Greg and Trevor… Main course: First ball screamer by Starc neatly got a wicket...

Day 3. A little bit of cricket then some rain. They should declare if they want to get a result Today, only 6 of us. Yalumba are the sponsoring winery. Menu: Starting with the Paradox and decanting an Octavius to have with the mains course: Table by the window:

Well there were 2 on each plate. The rabbit must have eaten the rest

We were sitting 1. No dessert for us

Most of our group have done home already - soft! Dean and I are into the G&T’s - some brilliant service from Sid and Elise for the last two days. They’ll appreciate the gift tomorrow (no, it’s not chocolates)

Given that we spend a lot in wines, our table got an unset table for the 2nd sitting, so we drank: After 6 bottles I think we’ve had enough. Great to get around the table and catch up with what’s happening in each others lives. Life is really good. Bought a couple of charcuterie boards...

Not a bad view for cricket. Talking about our kids, school life (memories as we’ve just had our 40 year reunion), watching the cricket and talking about the cricket

So the Day 2 menu: My guest Dean. I went to school with him and played in the A’s together. Brilliant cricketer - opening batsman and Fast/medium bowler. Captained Australian U19 team to India. His father played for Qld, one of his sons made the U19 Test side last year but then got shin...

We thought we’d head down to the commentators area before the game, as they were almost directly in front of us.
