QF WP's First Test Cricket Trip Report - Aust v Sri Lanka

[QF WP]

Lunch time snack (don’t want to ruin dinner tonight in the Bradman Room):

 

[QF WP]

Great bowling figures so far, particularly Richardson

 

[JohnK]

Won the toss, chose to bat and are 4/58 after 28 overs. I think you're being kind on 180 total @QF WP.

 

[drron]

A great debut for Richardson.

I ducked outside to the Tower Eatery

Lovely Roast Beef and veges

In a plastic container lol. But perfect at 3.20pm. Missed two wickets ....5/73

 

[QF WP]

Indeed I am being generous as the 5th wicket has fallen, da Silva for 5



5/66. It’s unraveling for the Sri Lankan’s.

120 is my new guesstimate.

 

[QF WP]

Silva on his way for 9, caught behind by Paine off coughmins. 6/91

 

[cjd600]

might see the Aussies bat under lights

 

[QF WP]

You will - I can’t see any good reason to suggest that the Sri Lankan’s will last that long (6:44pm is sunset here today)

 

[QF WP]

Waiting for dinner to commence and doing some famous people spotting in the bar area:

Steve Renouf (NRL):



Jeff Thompson:


Bart Sinclair (race caller):



Lakmal out for 7



So 7/102 with Perera retired hurt (we saw while waiting for our table)

 

[cjd600]

Holding most catches today as well.

 

[QF WP]

Make that 8/106. Perera out for 1 (he came back on after the fall of the previous wicket):

 

[QF WP]

Starc will be disappointed that this DRS was turned down

 

[CaptJCool]

Saw the most wackiest

ramp shot 6

over the keepers head down into the sightscreen just by where I’m sitting

 

[QF WP]

Dinner wines

[QF WP]

[QF WP]

Wine selected for mains

 

[love_the_life]

I have no idea who some of those 'famous' people are. Thommo I do remember though.

 

[CaptJCool]

A couple of those Laird Shiraz please

 

[QF WP]

Saw the most wackiest

ramp shot 6

over the keepers head down into the sightscreen just by where I’m sitting

We saw that and agree, it was a most unusual shot for a Test match from Dickwalla
