1st Cricket Test: Aust v Sth Africa @ The Gabba

[QF WP]

First hour conga line

 

[QF WP]

3rd beer and probably the last before lunch:



We are in the first sitting, in the Bradman Room. Menu and photos of the 3 course meal will be coming.

 

[Major]

For a minute I thought all those empties in post #21 were yours. A dozen beers before lunch...not bad

First appeal was referred to 3rd umpire by Australia. Smith not out - down the legside, not conclusive that he hit it.

No hotspot seen. Not that it mattered. Always good to get a (relatively) early wicket.

How is it looking LW - will they / wont they get SA out for <300?

Making me very jealous.

A test match to me is like QF F.....and 20-20 like QF Y.

Does the sport get in the way of your drinking?

Dessert:


The Reserve Wine List, thankfully, didn't get a look on at our table, but it did get a run at our clients table.

Then I am in the boys room and hear the big roar. Petersen is out, caught Hussey b Lyon for 64. 2/126 at the moment

Between 6 of us, we start and finish at the same pace.

Looks we'll like get them out by tomorrow stumps. We missed the opportunity to pressure them in the first hour

Beer number 4:



Settling in for a good session. The red wine was eminently drinkable

 

[Blinky]

It looks like a washout tomorrow with 50mm of rain expected. I know it can come down quickly in Brisbane and the Gabba drains well, but not good.

No Boonie, Thompson or Pascoe.

Only Martin Kent, former player and GM of the QCC walking around, making sure we spend more money
