Brisbane Day 2
No Seriously, remind me why I'm doing this? I'm still trying to find a silver lining but it really isn't obvious. Yes, we bowled a lot better today although Anderson is looking out of his depth and Harmison is blowing hot and very cold. Yes, they were tired after 150 overs in the field, but after watching Ponting majestically keeping everything on the ground, surely a batsman of Strauss' class shouldn't have been fooled by the old Hilditch trick? Cook got unlucky with a great ball and Collingwood played across the line a little.
Pleasingly Belly isn't looking like a startled rabbit anymore and KP looks confident. It is going to need big hundreds from 3 out of those two, Freddie and Jonesy for us to recover this one I'm afraid. The wicket is superb and isn't playing any tricks so there shouldn't be a reason why we can't make 600 between the next 17 wickets and occupy a lot of time in doing so.
In fact the only real pleasure that I've had the last two days is watching Punter disconsolately dragging himself away from the crease 4 short of a double hundred. What a shame for the lad, although it did draw a chorus on one Gary Pratt from the Barmy Army which brought much mirth allround.
The temperature hasn't dropped today so it's been another slow burner in Queensland's capital. The pasty complexion has now been replaced the look of a bronzed adonis. You'll all be calling me Stevie Beaton when I get back.
Up the Monty (why isn't he playing again?)

Boycs thinks Harmison is shite and is bowling like a 2nd XI spinner! Mrs H is still "with child" and due date is 10 days away. Still waiting for nesting instinct to kick-in.
