Third Test, Australia v India, Gabba

[QF WP]

As usual, I down tools to attend the Test in Brisbane - as I have done for the last 30 years+. Enjoyable to spend time in the Cricketers Club, have silver service lunches, wine and beers flowing. There has been a group of us going to the match together - clients and friends.

I will give live updates, photos and general commentary over the next three days.

Day 1 - @Captain Halliday sadly had to decline, so invited @Buzzard instead. He’ll enjoy the Torbrecks!

The weather is looking ominous - if play starts on time, it should swing a mile. On the free BCC bus to Woolloongabba Bus Interchange.



Will be even better when the cross river rail is finished

The crowd is here early. Gates opened as I passed at 9am.

Well played @QF WP
Let's hope it's our turn to win the toss.

It looks like a festival outside the ground. I don't recognise the game being advertised at the Qantas tent.

No, why should it change?
