QF WP’s First Test Trip Report - Ashes v England, 8-10 Dec 2021

[QF WP]

Missed the 6th wicket standing in line to get a table at the second sitting. We’re not eating but we are drinking - a bottle of RunRig 2009

Another wicket - Pope out to a great diving catch and Cameron Green’s first wicket. 7/122

 

[QF WP]

Better make that another wicket, easy catch behind. Robinson gone for a 8/122

The 10 in your thread title is starting to seem a little ambitious!

Now that's a decent size wine glass!!

And how's the sky looking on your part of the woods?

Rain didn't arrive quickly enough for the English but looks like lasting long enough for the Aussie batsmen.

 

[QF WP]

Auspicious timing to get the Poms out as it’s a little wet now

 

[QF WP]

Clearing up now @NM, but pretty sure they’ll call play over now. Time for me to head to my sons primary school graduation

We better get some play on day 2.... rain looms ominously

and hopefully we Runrings around them and score at least 490 !

that would be something to savour !

Clear and sunny here atm

 

[QF WP]

Made it to son’s primary school graduation and didn’t need to drink anything. A Berocca and water were needed last night and awoke to clear head this morning.

On the train to get to the game early as play starts at 9:30am due to play being stopped early yesterday. More rain overnight but a clear sky now - just smoking humid. Ball should swing this morning so our batsmen have to weather the English fasts onslaught. Then the run should flow and expect another afternoon storm.

Today’s wine is Henschke. Looking forward to it

 

[QF WP]

Todays first wicket - Harris caught behind for 3. 1/10.
