Brisbane Episode I: A New Hope



For your viewing pleasure, and to calm any last minute nerves brought on by the latest injury scare, here is Beefy smashing Merv Hughes for 22 in an over on his way to a match-winning innings the last time we triumphed in Brisbane.

The time for being negative is gone! So what if we lose Belly and his average of 47.66 to injury! What is Ed Joyce (sp?) in the squad for! It's time to get excited and feel confident we will pick the right team! Of course we'll play Monty!

Further research on the Gabba pitch reveals it is apparently the second fastest in Oz, after the Perth assault cours. Shane Warne likes it because it also has plenty of bounce (insert own inflatable gag here) so, it should help Harmison if he's fit and can hit the cut part of the wicket now and again...

Also something about rotating feet, studs and the wiry-grass means Simon Jones-esque injuries are not uncommon... Here's hoping Glenn McGrath is out playing touch-rugby as you read...
