Good move on the declaration in the 2nd innings. Ambrose with the goods in the 4th innings. Great game for Cairns.

One issue though... the backdrop graphic of the scorecard is not that of the Bourda Ground...

Is that the Antigua Rec? That's my bad, the ICC photos I have on file aren't actually named, so I've been trying to deduce which ground is which.

I'll fix it when I get the chance.

It looks like the Blue Mountains End at Sabina Park.

Bourda is one of my favorites because there is the Botanical Gardens just across the road...the zoo is also nearby.

That Thorpe/Hussain partnership looks identical to the 1997 Ashes first Test.

That Thorpe/Hussain partnership looks identical to the 1997 Ashes first Test.

.... and then a bit of a collapse from 2-470 to be all out for 560 ..... still a better score than expected.
