Just capped off an inspired comeback. The Rosebowl - a dustbowl, as you do when you have Warne and Udal in your team - was turning from ball one, and we struggled to 168 all out in the first innings, Katich grafted his way to 57 (190), my young gun opener Gratrix also hit 31 (61). They immediately got stuck into my bowlers - they were 0/82, 1/116, 2/193, 4/241, 5/269, etc., but Warne spun his web and managed to minimise the damage to a 147-run deficit.
Third ball of our second innings - Brown lbw b Sidebottom.We were 3/70 at one stage until, Katich contributed again with another solid innings of 43 (152) along with Ervine, who hit a fluent 90 (193), put on 107 for the 4th wicket. So in effect, we were 4/30. From here, we struggled, though Crawley ground out his 34 (154), and the tailed assisted, Tremlett with 17* (69) and Logan with 12 (32). 122 to win on a turning Rose Bowl... we had a slight sniff with Warne and Udal in good form, but I was pretty much resigned to losing.
Enter Warne and Udal...
