The Ashes 2006/07: The Brisbane Test Thread - Day Four

[Django]

Once again an Australian player (Shane Warne) gets away with any sort of behaviour on cricket field. I dread not think what would happened if the player involved was from sub-continent.

England doing well at the moment. But the Australian bowling attack is such that one breakthrough will open the gates and then we will see a flurry of wickets.

Collingwood you complete idiot. Stumped.

[Aussie-Yank]

Well played Collingwood - deserved the 100, but showed that he is capable of playing for England

What did they do now? I missed that.

KP has been a treat to watch. He played some beautiful shots off Warne and McGrath. This is the right way to go about it. Attack is the best form of defense.

Colly stumped for 96. Complete brain storm. Was going for the big hit to secure his 100 and was down by the spin. Until thenhe had looked in no trouble which makes this abberation even harder to take. I can only assume he forgot the match situation. Don't want to be too harsh on him but in the cold light of day I'm sure he'll be kicking himself.

Well at least we have some pride back now and what is all this about injuries to the Ponting and McGrath?

That was an idiotic shot. Attacking is alright....but taking risks is stupid in this situation.

Ponting has gone in th back, no info from the Aussie camp as yet but he has not taken the field at all. McGrath went off for a bit with a bruised heel but its nothing serious apparently

What a wonderful surprise to find England still fighting when I woke up this morning. Already I feel a lot better about this series than I did yesterday. I always expected a loss for England at the Gabba, but taking this extreme thrashing into a fifth day, which now looks likely, shows the character which we knew England had in their kitbag. Fanastic!
