If they were flying a ZX? then they might have something to complain about, I would take an 18 year old 734 anyday compared to the BA birds.
 
If it was a direct 763 flight, then they departed 78 minutes late and arrived 62 minutes late on OGL.

Unusual to have a 763 on this route - probably a cricket related equip sub for QF661.
 
They could turn up on day 3 of the next test and still beat us.:(

I would say that was it, love the tweet before it:

"In the airport waiting for flight to Adelaide. Had three people come up to me and say well batted. I only got 11?"
 
THE Engish cricket team has been delayed in Brisbane this morning due to a mechanical glitch with their Qantas plane.

Fast bowler James Anderson tweeted: "Flight has been delayed due to a mechanical problem with the plane. I would rather them change the aircraft than say it will take 20 mins to fix."

What a sook! Some engineering issues are very minor & might be able to be fixed in less than 20 minutes whereas some issues will take considerably longer but it doesn't mean that something isn't safe & you need a replacement aircraft.

I suppose it's indicitive of what the general public think also because they've swallowed all the lies & BS the media has dished out in making mountains out of molehills in recent weeks.

I was going to say he should stick to bowling, however after a meagre one wicket in each innings that's not really appropriate.

Okay so 11 is probably a good score for a tail ender generally speaking. I guess the three people thought any score over zero was great.

Three centuries is pretty much unheard of (fluke?) & I wouldn't expect a repeat performance any time soon. :shock: :shock:
