"The Ashes" - First Day


It was the most anticipated match of the summer - the first day of the Ashes series at the Gabba. Nat, Sean and I joined a capacity crowd - including an overwhelming showing from the Barmy Army, and perfect weather - albiet a little hot at 32 degrees. With the Aussies winning the toss, Australia elected to bat and sent Hayden and Langer in as openers. After Hayden was dismissed, Punter stepped in to take charge of the match posting a superb century in the first innings, and only falling 4 runs short of double tonne on day 2. All in all, it was a great day out.
