Well, it may well be a Queensland holiday, but today it was all about the final decimation of the English cricket team, as Australia wrapped up the 5th Test by a whopping 281 runs, and thus inflicted just the third 5-0 whitewash in the history of Ashes cricket. What an amazing turnaround from les than six months ago, when Australia had been blitzed in the Lords Test match to go 2-0 after just two Tests of that series. However, it was from that moment on that the rebuilding and resurgence started, to the point that this amazing result is the climax.
As with yesterday, the pool and its occupants were constantly calling me, but there was no way I was going to miss this, especially when the moment came when England lost four wickets in the first two overs after the tea break. Brilliant.
During the collapse, an following its conclusion, I had taken on the cooking role for the evening, and had put together beef madras and tandoori chicken for the masses, as well as some chicken fried rice to accompany it for the kids. It was hot in the kitchen, but well worth it in the long run.
