Actually mate, being Monday I'm at a belated birthday lunch at Felix in my honour. Enjoy your pre-packed sandwich, underling.

you know. cowan started off horribly last season, and on the day roebuck died, scored a ton (or maybe it was 90 odd.) that started his run to the test team. he started off horribly this season, and on the one year anniversary of roebuck's death, scores a ton

Wow that's such a fitting moment, I didn't realize it was a year ago, no wonder he was emotional.
EDIT - I haven't listened to ABC Radio, have they mentioned Roebuck much?

I've actually been more impressed with his cutting this innings. The pull is obviously his go-to shot but he was a fierce cutter and back foot driver of the ball in his youth in New South Wales, but it got him out a fair bit so he put it all away in his second coming as a state cricketer for Tasmania. Really good sign to see him bring out some off side play successfully at this level; when he was raved about as a young bat in Sydney, that was why.

Didn't they? To be fair I didn't see much of the Sat/Sun of that game as was playing, but thought it looked ordinary whenever I was watching. Polished glass.Most of CW didn't have a problem with the Gabba in 2010 so they must have no problem with this wicket?
Funnily enough, seems to only be when Australia plays a non-drawcard team that there is anything in the wicket at the Gabba. NZ keep coming across seamers up there.

Haha yeah I was thinking that yesterday. I'd like to think it's a coincidence or at least a cricket-based tactic; I'd hate to think it was a CA directive to prepare roads specifically to ensure five days of cricket against (only) drawcard teams..

Nicholas, that commentary was so, so bad. You're not a cheerleader. Hang your head in shame.
